T.I.’s Son King Harris Arrested in Gwinnett County on Speeding and Drug Charges

GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. (BuzzReport)— The son of hip-hop star T.I. is facing multiple criminal charges after a weekend traffic stop in metro Atlanta escalated into an arrest involving alleged drug possession and obstruction of police.

Authorities say King Harris, a 21-year-old rapper and the son of T.I. and singer Tameka “Tiny” Harris, was taken into custody early Sunday morning in Gwinnett County following a stop for speeding.

According to jail records, Harris has been charged with speeding, failure to wear a seat belt, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance. 

Investigators say the incident began when officers observed Harris traveling significantly above the posted speed limit. During the stop, authorities reported that Harris refused to comply with commands to exit his vehicle, leading to the obstruction charge. 

Law enforcement sources also indicated that officers discovered drugs in his possession, along with a firearm observed inside the vehicle during the encounter. 

Harris was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail in the early morning hours and later released the same day after posting bond. 

The arrest quickly drew widespread attention online, in part due to Harris’ appearance at the time of the incident and his subsequent social media activity referencing the arrest. However, authorities have not commented on those details as the case moves forward.

This latest incident adds to a growing list of legal issues involving the young rapper in recent years, raising renewed scrutiny over his conduct and public profile.

No court date has been publicly announced, and the investigation remains ongoing.
