Aaron Carter was pulled over on suspicion of DUI on Tuesday after his on-off girlfriend Melanie Martin “called the police” – with the embattled singer later cleared of any wrongdoing.
TMZ reports that the 34-year-old I Want Candy hitmaker was driving an RV in Antelope Valley around 10:45 a.m. when police received a call about a driver who may be driving under the influence and weaving through traffic.
Officials performed sobriety tests on the star and it was determined that he was not under the influence.
In a bizarre twist, he later locked his keys in the camper van with photos showing the singer climbing into the vehicle via the roof hatch to retrieve them.

Defiant: Aaron took to Instagram to share a post following the police incident
TMZ has reported that the welfare applications came on the evening of September 20 after fans feared the star might be using drugs off camera while streaming a live chat on social media.
The screen went black during the online conversation and some fans thought they heard spraying and inhaling in the background.
The singer has previously admitted to having a snooping addiction.
Huffing involves inhaling (or ‘huffing’) fumes from common household products like glue, cleaning supplies, or paint – producing a high similar to the effects of alcohol.’
When police and firefighters arrived at the musician’s home in Lancaster, Calif., sources said Aaron didn’t come to the door at first, but when investigators made contact, the singer said he was asleep.

No drugs were found in the home and there was no evidence of a suicide attempt.
The Fool’s Gold artist, who previously revealed he’s been diagnosed with schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder and anxiety, claimed online he was “the troll hunter” and sprayed what appeared to be an air freshener. He explained the actions to TMZ as a joke, saying, “I’m sick of people coming after me, so I trolled everyone.”
The incident came just days after the concerned singer went online and threatened to sue his girlfriend Martin, who once accused him of domestic abuse but later recanted.
Both Aaron and Melanie have lost custody of their son Prince, who is being cared for by his maternal grandmother.
Aaron claimed he volunteered for a month-long outpatient program run by Lionrock Recovery so he could regain custody of the boy.
In an interview with The US Sun, he explained: “It’s a temperance program and I work with an individual counselor. I do group therapy, parenting classes, domestic violence classes, I got certified in CPR, just a lot of different things,” he continued. “It’s new to be a parent but it’s gotten really fun and exciting and has given me a new chapter in my life. It was amazing.’
Troll hunting: The singer told TMZ that the stunt in which he sprayed air freshener was a joke and he acted as a “troll hunter” because “I’m tired of people coming after me, so I trolled everyone.”
