T. I.
ATLANTA, Ga. — Atlanta rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was mistakenly arrested at Atlanta’s airport last Sunday night.
Channel 2?s Tom Jones spoke to the Clayton County sheriff, who said a warrant had been taken out for a man with the same name in Baltimore. That Clifford Harris was accused of beating a woman.
T.I. said he was in Los Angeles and arrived in Baltimore after the alleged incident took place. The warrant also described the suspect as as significantly larger than T.I.
The rapper insisted he was not the suspect but was arrested by a border patrol agent anyway. He was taken to the Clayton County jail.
A metro Atlanta judge dismissed the case. T.I.’s attorney, Steve Sadow, told TMZ that the rapper was released within two hours.
