Rapper Andre 3000 of Outkast was arrested last weekend in Atlanta for driving 44-mph over the posted speed limit.

Andre, whose real name is Andre Benjamin, was clocked at 109-mph in a 65-mph zone on I-75 as he drove his 2007 Porsche Carrera.

Police Captain Jason Bolton said Andre was posing an obvious threat to other drivers. “Traveling that fast along 75, you’re passing people as if they’re standing still. It’s an accident waiting to happen.”

Andre posted bail and was released. He will appear in court on April 29th.

Georgia State Representative Jim Cole is hoping Andre will be willing to campaign for the state’s new Super Speeder Bill which calls for an additional $200 fine for anyone caught doing more than 85 miles an hour on freeways. The law will go into effect this summer.
