Prior to Aaron Carter's untimely death on Saturday, November 5, the singer was pulled over for a suspected DUI on Tuesday, November 1.
As OK! previously reported, Los Angeles police officers stopped the musical artist after his on-again, off-again girlfriend Melanie Martin allegedly dialed 911 about a driver who was swerving through traffic and potentially under the influence.
The LAPD determined Carter had not drank alcohol after giving him sobriety tests, and they decided the wind may have caused the vehicle from moving from lane to lane.
The "How I Beat Shaq" singer, who previously checked into rehab less than two months after he lost custody of his 11-month-old son, Prince, then took to social media to share his side of the story.
"Do the right thing, that’s what you do🤴," he wrote via Instagram. "Had to climb up this b**ch today and go through the roof so they could search the RV 👮♀️ WHEN You do the right thing, you don’t get in trouble. 🙏🏼 #godbless."

Following the terrible news, other celebrities weighed in on the situation.
