Lil Yachty Arrested Speeding and For Reckless Driving
Lil Yachty, whose given name is Miles McCollum, was arrested and charged with driving more than 150 mph down an Atlanta interstate, as WSB-TV reports. The Atlanta rapper was pulled over on Sept. 21 on the Downtown Connector near University Avenue.
The 23-year-old was driving a white Ferrari at the time. He was taken to the Atlanta City Jail while his vehicle was given to a friend. Lil Yachty was charged with speeding in excess of maximum limits and reckless driving.
Back in June, Yachty crashed a red Ferrari on the Downtown Connector. There were reports by witnesses that speed and wet roads were a factor in the accident. The incident took place near the same place that the rapper was pulled over last week.
