Rapper T.I. Arrested In A Case Of Mistaken Identity

Published on August 6, 2024
Clifford Harris was arrested over the weekend in Atlanta, but it turns out that the wrong Clifford Harris was arrested. According to TMZ, rapper and reality TV star T.I., real name Clifford Harris, was picked up on an arrest warrant issued for another man with the same name at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Georgia. 
The Clifford Harris that police officers are looking for is from Baltimore, while the rapper, who also is a comedian, lives in Atlanta. Harris is wanted for alleged involvement in violent behavior toward a woman, stalking, and possibly involving a gun.
T.I. was arrested at the airport and then taken to Clayton County Jail. The entertainer’s attorney, Steve Sadow, informed the media outlet that he telephoned the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office and was able to have his client released within 2 hours of the incident.
Since the warrant was from out of state, his arrest triggered an automatic extradition hearing. After the judge reviewed the particulars of the arrest, he dismissed the extradition order. The warrant for Harris was filed on June 13 but states that the suspect reportedly weighs 205 pounds. T.I. weighs about 40 pounds less at 165.
Late last year, the “Rubber Band Man” lyricist was pulled over when he was seen speeding past a police officer on an Atlanta highway.After being stopped in a Range Rover with no tags, the rapper informed the police officer that he had purchased the vehicle that day. After the officer questioned why he was driving so fast, he responded that his “girl” was getting on his nerves.“I was arguing with my girl. She was getting on my nerves. I apologize. She was getting under my skin.”

HipHopDX reported that T.I. was not arrested but was given three citations and allowed to leave the scene.
