Akon was briefly arrested in Georgia due to an active warrant connected to a prior issue with a suspended driver’s license. Specifically, authorities cited him for driving with a suspended license and then issued a bench warrant when he did not appear in court for that matter. He was detained for several hours before being released, and the warrant was tied to Roswell, Georgia, dating back to an earlier incident in which his license had been suspended for failure to appear in court. Independent reporting and statements from law- enforcement agencies described the sequence: traffic stop, citation for the license status, and subsequent custody on the out-of-county warrant before release.
