Jah Prayzah, real name Mukudzei Mukombe, was arrested after allegedly evading police and Zimbabwe National Road Authority (Zinara) officials at the Shurugwi Tollgate.
He was allegedly driving an unregistered Mercedes Benz E320.
Police Midlands Operations Coordinator Chief Superintendent Edmore Bakayidza confirmed the arrest.
The musician was asked to produce vehicle registration documents at the tollgate but failed.
Zinara officials asked him to pull over and pay $20 for vehicle licensing for one term but Jah Prayzah allegedly refused and sped off before throwing a $2 note at the officials.
He was later stopped at a tollgate between Gweru and Kwekwe over the same reason and refused to comply with police orders at the tollgate.
He allegedly refused to return to Gweru Central Police station where Zinara officials had reported the matter.
Jah Prayzah yesterday declined to comment on the issue.
