Jail records show Harris was arrested and booked Sunday on a felony drug possession charge, misdemeanor obstruction of law enforcement and speeding and seatbelt violations.
In his mugshot, Harris appears to be wearing a Pikachu onesie. He posted a video response to his arrest on Instagram.
“living a good Pikachu life in Tokyo then come back to ATL and team rocket catch me wit a master ball and throw me n jail all night,” Harris wrote in the post.
Gwinnett County police released video of the traffic stop. The officer tells Harris to step out of the Tesla Cybertruck because there is a handgun on the dashboard.
Harris refused to get out of the car, eventually calling his attorney, police said. He was then told he was under arrest for obstruction, and got out after speaking with the lawyer.
His father, Clifford “T.I.” Harris Jr. arrived to the scene and is seen on bodycam briefly speaking with the arresting officer about what led to the arrest.
Officers booked Harris into the jail around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. He posted bail five hours later.
