Nick Gordon has been arrested for speeding and reckless driving.

The "adopted" son of Whitney Houston, who recently called off his engagement to Whitney's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, was taken into custody in Alpharetta, Georgia on Wednesday after being caught speeding through the town.

A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ, "We are fortunate because that's such a busy corridor with high end retail shopping restaurants and pedestrians at crosswalks. At that speed, it's absolutely reckless."

Nick's arrest came hours after Bobbi Kristina lost control of her Chevy Camaro when leaving her apartment complex and drove down an embankment before coming to a stop on a local park trail. She was cited by police for "failure to maintain lane."
