Alpharetta, Ga., police nabbed Gordon just after 6:30 p.m. Wednesday after he was clocked going 82 mph in a 35 mph zone, according to a press release from the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety.

After he was arrested and cited for reckless driving and speeding, Gordon was booked into the North Fulton jail annex before being bonded out.

ABC News was unable to reach Gordon for comment.

The 23-year-old was taken into custody because the area where he was found speeding is in “a high vehicular and pedestrian traffic area,” filled with retail stores and restaurants, according to the release obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“In a situation such as this, the department has a duty to take reasonable enforcement action to protect the public,” the release read.

Gordon was pulled over while behind the wheel of a grey Camaro. Earlier that day, Brown, 19, escaped injury after losing control of her black Camaro and driving down an embankment. She is the daughter of the late Whitney Houston.

Both incidents occurred days after the pair, who have long kept people guessing about the status of their relationship, appeared to have split.

“@REALbkBrown and I are not engaged or dating. Just close like we have always been,” Gordon tweeted Nov. 18.

Brown also hinted that any romance was over in a series of cryptic tweets.

“Who do I trust in this world? Pfft well that’s easy beezie, #Myself,” she wrote Nov. 26.

A court date for Gordon is scheduled for Feb. 12.
