Reports have been circulating that Young Jeezy was arrested in Atlanta yesterday morning. MTV is reporting that the rapper was charged with several misdemeanors including DUI, speeding, reckless driving, no tags, driving with an open container and no proof of insurance.

Authorities said that Jeezy was originally stopped for speeding after an officer saw him cruising down Atlanta's Bufford Highway. It wasn't until the car was stopped that the officer noticed that the vehicle was missing license plates. "Everything just went from there," said Officer James Polite, a police spokesman.

After posting bail, the "snowman" was released just a few hours after he was arrested.

Jeezy issued a statement via his attorney, Scott Leemon, saying that he was on his way home from the studio when the officer pulled him over. "After being charged with various automobile-related offenses, Jeezy was quickly processed and released," Leemon said in the statement. "A court date has been scheduled and Jeezy looks forward to getting the matter resolved."

As previously reported, more legal troubles may be brewing for the ATL rapper as Ralph "Ralphie" Simms told a Los Angeles court that Jeezy was the recipient of several kilos of cocaine from the Black Mafia Family. At press time, officials still would not comment on if an investigation on Jeezy would be launched. Jeezy has not been charged with a crime or questioned about anything Simms told the court.
