Akon was arrested on November 7 in Chamblee, processed at DeKalb County Jail, transferred to Smyrna Municipal Jail, and released the same day after roughly six hours in custody. The warrant stemmed from a September 10 stop in Roswell, where police cited him after finding his license had been suspended since January 2023 and his vehicle lacked valid insurance. Officers located a 2024 white Tesla Cybertruck at a Tint World shop after an ALPR alert and confirmed Akon’s identity before arresting him without resistance and finding no illegal items during the search. Police records from the September stop note that an illegal vape was seized from the vehicle and sent for destruction. The vehicle present at the November arrest was not seized and was in maintenance, his team has not commented, and his scheduled concerts proceeded, including India dates this week.
