Overview
- 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.
