According to the Gwinnett County Police Department, an officer spotted a camo-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck speeding near Holcomb Bridge Road and Peachtree Corners Circle. The officer had to reach speeds of 80 mph to catch the vehicle, which continued traveling 60 mph in a 45 mph zone while drifting between lanes and failing to signal.

During the stop, the officer saw a handgun on the dashboard within the driver's reach. 

Harris told the officer he did not realize how fast he was going and was simply on his way to pick up food. 

He refused to get out of the truck multiple times, leading the officer to tell him he was under arrest for obstruction. He eventually stepped out after talking to his lawyer.

Following his arrest and transport to the jail, staff found one oxycodone pill, a Schedule II controlled substance, on him.

What we don't know:

It is not yet clear if Harris has a scheduled court date or if he has been released on bond. Police have not clarified if the handgun found on the dashboard was legally owned or if it will result in further charges.

Harris faces recurring legal issues

The backstory:

This is not the first time Harris has faced legal trouble in Georgia. In 2024, he was accused of nearly hitting a police officer at a Dunwoody gas station and was taken into custody after an officer smelled marijuana in his car. He was also previously transferred to Pickens County on a bench warrant for failing to appear for a 2022 traffic stop involving speeding and DUI charges. Those Pickens County charges were officially dropped in August 2025.
