Authorities said Hernandez was pulled over in June for allegedly driving 135 mph in a 65 mph zone.
The citation said Hernandez had no registration for his vehicle.
According to the report, Hernandez was released from custody after posting bond.
This latest arrest comes months after a brutal beatdown in a South Florida gym left the rapper in the hospital.
Hernandez was hospitalized after being attacked in the sauna of an LA Fitness on March 21, according to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.
After a video of the attack went viral on social media, an Instagram account called @miami___wtf posted a video where the rapper appears to be reentering the gym with blood dripping down his face.
The man recording the cell phone video follows Hernandez back into the gym saying, "They got that boy good."
PBSO deputies learned that an altercation occurred inside the business between several individuals.
"He was attacked in a Sauna at a gym by three or four thugs who beat him up (he tried fighting back)," the rapper's attorney Lance Lazzaro said in a statement to NBC News.
Three men were later arrested in connection with the assault.
