A patrol officer in Buckhead saw the car change lanes without signaling, precipitating the stop. Then, the officer noticed that the gray 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago had expired dealer tags -- very expired tags -- and had it impounded, Carlos Campos, a spokesman for the Atlanta Police Department, told the AJC.

The tags were from 2009.  "So the tags were two years old," Campos said.

The incident, first reported by entertainment website TMZ, occurred Wednesday around 7 p.m. The car was pulled over in the parking lot of a hotel in the 3200 block of Peachtree Road.

After the stop, Iverson climbed into a Rolls-Royce with friends who had been following him, according to TMZ. The driver of his Lamborghini was given a citation for changing lanes without signaling, Campos said. The driver's name was not immediately available.
