Roomies, body cam footage of King Harris’ recent arrest in Georgia has hit the internet. As TSR previously reported, officers cuffed the rapper on Sunday, April 12, after he allegedly sped through a 45 mph zone at 60 mph, and they spotted a firearm in his car. Right in the middle of it all, his dad, T.I., pulled up to see what was going down, and he didn’t hesitate to question the officers.
Body cam footage shared by LiveBitez shows T.I. pulling up to the scene as officers arrested King Harris in Georgia on April 21. In the clip, T.I. questions the officers and appears to explain that King carries the firearm for safety reasons. The video then shows T.I. standing in the street and asking the cops about the situation.
“There’s absolutely no way to resolve this matter?” T.I. asks.
The officers then responded, explaining that they would still arrest King because he refused to comply with their instructions.
According to TMZ, authorities arrested King around 1 a.m, after they pulled them over. Officers noted that he drove over the 45 mph speed limit and spotted a gun in his car. During the interaction, they ordered him to exit the vehicle, but he refused, as the body cam footage shows. From there, officers placed King in handcuffs and also found a vape pen allegedly containing 10 milligrams of THC during his arrest.
Authorities then booked King on a felony charge for possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanor charge for willful obstruction of law enforcement officers. They also hit him with two traffic citations for a seatbelt violation and speeding. Per WSB-TV, officers took him into custody around 2:30 a.m., but he reportedly posted bail five hours later.
Shortly after details about King’s arrest and his mugshot hit the internet, he hopped into The Shade Room’s comments section to react. He told folks who were worried about his status that he would be on a Twitch stream.“Mannn live on twitch rn TheNextKing10 Come Join”King also dropped videos on Instagram showing him living it up in Tokyo. Most recently, he shared a clip of himself rapping lyrics from a single that appears to be from his upcoming album. Fans think he addressed his arrest in the caption as he wrote, “They always post the bull NEVER DA ACCOMPLISHMENTS man Im off beat like a mf I could hear the song BIT YOU GET IT ”
