The arrest comes just three months after Yachty crashed his red Ferrari near the same spot where he was pulled over last week. He was reportedly driving at a “high rate of speed” before crashing the $330,000 vehicle.

He shared photos from the aftermath of the crash and told fans he was grateful to be alive. “So thankful for my life. Never take it for granted,” tweeted Yachty.
