Young Jeezy Charged With DUI, Speeding

An Atlanta police officer pulled Young Jeezy over on a highway early Wednesday morning, charging him with driving under the influence, speeding, driving without a license or proof of insurance, reckless driving, and an open container. Jeezy had just left a recording studio before his arrest (he's currently working on a new album), which happened at 2:30 a.m. on Interstate 85. The rapper was released from the Atlanta City Detention Center a few hours later on a $4,100 bond.

"A court date has been scheduled (for July 17) and Jeezy looks forward to getting the matter resolved," his attorney, Scott E. Leemon, said in a statement.
