Police in Chamblee, Georgia, arrested musician Akon on an outstanding warrant. The warrant was issued after the performer, whose legal name is Aliaune Badara Thiam, failed to appear in court for a prior traffic violation.
The initial incident occurred when police in Roswell, Georgia, stopped him after his Tesla Cybertruck broke down. Officers discovered his driver's license was suspended and that his vehicle lacked valid insurance. They also located an illegal vape during that stop, though no charges were filed for that item.
Authorities booked Akon into the DeKalb County Jail before releasing him several hours later. He has not publicly commented on the arrest.
