Andre 3000 was arrested outside Atlanta this past weekend for speeding early Saturday morning. One half of hip-hop duo OutKast, the rapper/actor was clocked at 109 mph while driving his 2007 Porsche Carrera before being pulled over by police.
The actions of the 33-year-old, whose real name is Andre Benjamin, was deemed "an accident waiting to happen" by police. According to Henry Country Police Captain Jason Balton, the rapper was well above the 65 mph speed limit on Atlanta's I-75 freeway. "Traveling that fast along 75, you're passing people as if they're standing still," said Balton. "It's an accident waiting to happen."
Benjamin reportedly told police that he was speeding because he missed an exit and had to turn around. He was released on $1,200 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on April 29.
