Andre 3000 charged with speeding
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 31 March 2009
Well, I’ve always been quite a fan of Andre 3000 but I can’t approve of speeding. Sadly, that’s what the OutKast star has been charged with, after driving at 175kmph on a suburban highway in Atlanta.
Police confirmed that the musician, real name Andre Benjamin, of course, was driving his Porsche in a 105kmph zone at about 12.30am on Saturday when he was apprehended, and that he apparently claimed he was going so fast because he missed an exit and had to turn around. Which isn’t the best excuse I’ve ever heard. He is free on a $1,200 bond with a court date set for 29 Apr.
