This is not Harris’s first run-in with the law. In 2023, he was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including felony fleeing, DUI, reckless driving, and minor in possession. He pleaded no contest to those charges and was sentenced to a pre-trial intervention program for first-time offenders.

The investigation into the latest charges is ongoing.
