Details about King Harris’ arrest
Jail records show authorities issued a warrant for King’s arrest in Pickens County because he failed to appear in court. Investigators say King Harris allegedly cut off a Dunwoody police officer as he was leaving a gas station, almost hitting the officer’s car. The officer allegedly turned around and stopped King’s vehicle.
WSB-TV reports that as the officer approached King, he noticed a gun on his hip and instructed him to place his hands on the steering wheel. Upon checking King’s information, the officer discovered that authorities wanted him in Pickens County for failing to appear in court. Shortly thereafter, authorities arrested King and took him to the DeKalb County Jail.
“I informed Mr. Harris that I would need to speak to him outside and opened the driver’s door. Mr. Harris cooperated and I removed the firearm from his hip without issue. I then made Mr. Harris exit the vehicle and detained him by placing him in handcuffs. I walked Mr. Harris to my patrol vehicle, searched him, and placed him in the back of my vehicle,” the arresting officer said in the incident report.
According to Fox5Atlanta, King faced charges in August 2022 for speeding, operating a vehicle with a suspended license, and operating under the influence of drugs. In September, authorities issued a court order after a notice of indictment was not returned.
