Akon’s Suspended License Arrest Due to Clerical Issue, Rep Claims

Akon by no means ought to’ve been arrested, his crew claims … blaming the entire misunderstanding on a records-keeping subject.

A consultant for the singer-songwriter tells us Akon already paid for the suspended license which resulted in his arrest … however, the fee wasn’t entered into the system correctly.

We’re informed this clerical error — an enormous one, if true — will likely be rectified by the courts at Akon’s hearing in early December.

ICYMI … Georgia’s DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office took Akon into custody final week for an out-of-county warrant. They booked — taking a mug shot on the time — and launched him inside six hours of the arrest.

We realized the arrest was on account of a bench warrant associated to driving with a suspended license. Basically, cops say they noticed Akon’s automotive stranded in the course of the street after his battery apparently died. Cops discovered he was driving on a suspended license and issued him a quotation on the scene.
