Young Jeezy was arrested early Wednesday morning by Atlanta Police. The charges were misdemeanor charges, including driving while under the influence, speeding, reckless driving, no tags, driving with an open container and no proof of insurance.

According to police, Jeezy was stopped along Atlanta’s Buford Highway, near route I-85, for speeding. Police then noticed his car was missing its license plates. After that, “Everything just went from there,” police spokesperson Officer James Polite said.

Young Jeezy whose real name is Jay Jenkins, was released on bail a few hours after his arrest. His will be required to attend court on July 17.

A statement issued by Jeezy’s attorney, Scott Leemon, claims the rapper was stopped on his way home from the studio, where he is working on his forthcoming LP, The Recession. “After being charged with various automobile-related offenses, Jeezy was quickly processed and released,” reads the statement. “A court date has been scheduled, and Jeezy looks forward to getting the matter resolved.”
