Former teenage pop sensation Aaron Carter was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana Saturday evening in Georgia.
The 29-year-old “I Want Candy” cover singer and his girlfriend, Madison Parker, were pulled over at about 9 p.m. in Habersham County, about 90 miles north of Atlanta.
Carter claims the police targeted him because he is famous, according to People.
He was not only upset with the police, but with his brother and former Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter, who tweeted about his brother’s predicament.
