Rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., was mistakenly arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday night. According to TMZ, the 43-year-old rapper was taken into custody due to a case of mistaken identity involving another individual with the same name.
After his arrest, T.I. was transported to Clayton County Jail. His attorney, Steve Sadow, clarified that the mix-up occurred because T.I. was confused with a different Clifford Harris who has an outstanding warrant in another state. This led to an automatic extradition hearing.
T.I. Released From Jail Within Two Hours Of Arrest
Fortunately, T.I. was released from jail within two hours of his arrest. A judge quickly dismissed the extradition order once it was determined that the warrant was not related to him. The real suspect, wanted in Baltimore, Maryland, faces charges for alleged stalking and violent behavior toward a woman.
T.I. has not yet commented publicly on the incident. The confusion highlights the importance of careful identification in legal matters, especially when similar names are involved.
