Andre 3000 Arrested
Posted by Media Outrage on March 31st, 2009
Shout out to Loyal Reader Atlanta! for sending the link and the info. We appreciate ya! Andre 3000 was arrested on Saturday right outside of Atlanta for doing 109 mph in a 65 mph speed zone.
Via AHH:
Revered Atlanta rapper Andre 3000 was arrested outside of Atlanta on Saturday (March 28), for driving his 2007 Porsche Carrera at speeds so excessive police called him “an accident waiting to happen.”
According to a report by local ABC-affiliate WSB-TV Monday afternoon (March 30), the Grammy Award winning rapper/actor was arrested by a member of the Henry County Police Department’s Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic Team early Saturday morning.
The officer stated that he clocked Andre 3000, born Andre Benjamin, at 109 mph, 44 mph over the 65 mph speed limit along that stretch of I-75.
Benjamin was arrested for the danger he posed to other drivers.
“Traveling that fast along 75, you’re passing people as if they’re standing still,” explained Henry County Police Captain Jason Bolton. “It’s an accident waiting to happen.”
The arrest comes as State Representative Jim Cole is lobbying for a new Super Speeder Bill to be passed in the state of Georgia.
The law would impose an additional $200 fine for any driver stopped for driving at more than 85 miles an hour on highways and four-lane roads. Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue has indicated his support of the bill, which he intends to sign into law before summer.
Representative Cole stated that he hopes Benjamin will lend his support to the cause.
“He might be willing to help us market it,” Cole told WSB-TV.
The Outkast co-founder was released after posting an unspecified bond amount.
He is scheduled to appear in court to face charges associated with the incident on April 29.
At press time, representatives for Andre 3000 could not be reached for comment.

Yeah I feel yall on that porsche but that negro was going through red-neck azz Henry county. He should have known better. They are about to make an example out of him with this new law in Georgia called the super speeders law. They are gonna tax him an extra $200 to $300 for that speeding ticket. I know he got it but the average joe blow does not.

That is some pretty fascinating ideas, but Ive got a question for you. I have a WordPress site, however my design is rather boring. Yours looks genuinely great though and I am wondering if it is a premium theme? Im just contemplating acquiring one, but I genuinely like yours. Cheers!
