King Harris, the son of rapper T.I. and singer Tiny Harris, was arrested early Sunday morning in Gwinnett County, Georgia, following a traffic stop that reportedly escalated into multiple charges.
According to local authorities, officers initially pulled Harris over around 1 a.m. after allegedly clocking his vehicle traveling 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. What began as a routine speeding stop quickly intensified after officers reportedly observed a firearm inside the vehicle.
Police stated that Harris was instructed to exit the car but allegedly refused to comply, leading officers to place him under arrest at the scene. Authorities also reported discovering a vape pen believed to contain THC during the encounter.
Following the arrest, Harris was booked on a felony charge related to possession of a controlled substance. He also faces a misdemeanor charge for obstruction of law enforcement, in addition to traffic citations for speeding and failure to wear a seatbelt.
The incident quickly drew attention online due to Harris’ growing public profile and his connection to one of hip-hop’s most recognizable families. Over recent years, King Harris has attempted to establish his own identity through music releases, livestream appearances, and social media activity separate from the legacy of his parents.
Shortly after news of the arrest surfaced online, Harris posted several emotional messages on social media criticizing law enforcement. Screenshots of the posts circulated rapidly across platforms and sparked debate online regarding the tone and timing of the comments.
Authorities have not publicly responded to the social media posts, and it remains unclear whether the statements will have any impact on the ongoing legal process.
As the case moves forward, Harris now faces multiple charges that could carry significant legal consequences if convicted.
