GUCCI MANE RELEASED

Authorities in Atlanta say charges against rapper Gucci Mane after he resisted arrest during a traffic stop have been dropped.

But he was advised by a judge that the charges, which were dropped Wednesday, could be reinstated later.

Mane was arrested Tuesday. Police say an off-duty police officer saw Gucci Mane's white Hummer being driven recklessly.

Atlanta Police spokesman Curtis Davenport says officers who responded to the call used pepper spray on Gucci Mane when he assaulted another person after an argument. Authorities say he resisted arrest before being apprehended.

Gucci Mane was charged with obstruction of officers, interference with government property, reckless driving and other charges.
