Here’s Why T.I. Was Reportedly Arrested In Atlanta
According to TMZ, the rapper, whose government name is Clifford Harris, was reportedly arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta on the evening of Sunday, August 4. However, the outlet notes that the arrest appeared to have been made under circumstances of mistaken identity.
TMZ reports that a warrant was issued for a man named Clifford Harris. However, authorities allegedly mixed up the suspect, who weighs 205, with the rapper, who weighs 165.
The outlet adds that the man who authorities sought to arrest was wanted in connection to exhibiting violent behavior and stalking a woman.
According to TMZ, T.I. was taken to Clayton County Jail. However, his attorney, Steve Sadow, reportedly spoke with authorities and cleared up the mistake within two hours of the rapper’s arrest.
