Rapper King Harris, son of T.I. and Tiny Harris, was arrested in Gwinnett County early Sunday morning, April 12, 2026. While the legal details are serious, the story has exploded online due to the rapper’s unconventional choice of clothing during the incident.
The Traffic Stop
- Non-Compliance: Officers observed a firearm in the vehicle and ordered Harris to step out. According to police reports, Harris initially refused to exit the car.
- The Discovery: Once Harris was detained, a search revealed a THC vape pen containing 10mg of THC, leading to a felony drug charge.
Current Legal Charges
Harris was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail and faces several counts:
- Possession of a Controlled Substance (Schedule II) — Felony
- Willful Obstruction of Law Enforcement — Misdemeanor
- Speeding — Citation
- Seatbelt Violation — Citation
Viral Aftermath
The most discussed detail of the night was Harris’s outfit: a Pikachu onesie. After posting bond, the rapper leaned into the viral moment on social media, jokingly comparing the police to the “Pokémon” antagonists, Team Rocket:
“Welp guess you can say they caught da Pikachu wit a master ball.”
This marks the latest in a series of legal run-ins for the young rapper, following a 2024 arrest in DeKalb County and a warrant in Pickens County that was recently resolved.
