Booked: Nicholas David Gordon, 23, smiles in a mugshot taken at Georgia's Alpharetta City Jail on Wednesday night
A newly-released booking photo of
Bobbi Kristina Brown's 'adopted brother' Nick Gordon shows the reality
star smiling following his arrest for reckless driving.
The
23-year-old, who was informally adopted by Bobbi Kristina's mother
Whitney Houston, was booked at Georgia's Alpharetta City Jail on
Wednesday night after he was clocked driving 82mph in a 35mph zone.
A police report obtained by MailOnline indicates Gordon has been ordered to appear in court on the charge.
Alpharetta Public Information Officer George Gordon confirms the incident occurred on Wednesday night at approximately 6:39pm.
Nick was driving a Gray Chevrolet
Camaro on North Point Parkway, an affluent area known to have a high
volume of pedestrian traffic.
Nick was cited for reckless driving and speeding and transported to the North Fulton Alpharetta jail Annex.
Officer Gordon tells MailOnline: 'The danger lies in the fact this is a high vehicular and pedestrian traffic area.
'In a situation such as this, the Department has a duty to take reasonable enforcement action to protect the public.'
Police say an 'acquaintance' of Gordon
was allowed to come to the scene and take custody of the vehicle. That
person's identity has not been released.

It is his first reckless driving offense.
A spokesman for Nick and Bobbi Kristina has not commented on MailOnline's request for comment.
Nick's arrest comes hours after Bobbi Kristina totalled her Chevrolet Camaro near their Georgia home.
The 19-year-old daughter of
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston was not injured after wrecking her
Chevrolet Camaro while driving in Alpharetta, Georgia on Wednesday.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ a good Samaritan saw the vehicle totalled in an embankment and called 911.
According to the website, the teenager was standing next to her car when emergency personnel arrived.

On and off: Nick and Bobbi Kristina, pictured in

March after he tweeted about the pair getting close
Investigators
believe she lost control of the vehicle while making a left turn out of
her apartment complex, driving over a curb and hitting several small
trees before stopping at a local park trail in the city, located about 26 miles north of Atlanta.
Bobbi Kristina was reportedly issued a traffic citation for 'failure to maintain lane'.

Police do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor.
A
spokesman for Bobbi Kristina has not yet commented on the accident,
which follows two months after she was involved in a car crash with Nick, and just a few weeks
after she struck his repaired sports car in a parking lot at their home.
Bobbi Kristina was a passenger in Nick's black 2012 Camaro when it was severely damaged on September 26.
According to TMZ, the couple had been arguing at the time of the crash - which destroyed the entire front end of the vehicle.
Nick's Camaro was the only car involved. No one was injured.
And earlier this month she accidentally
struck Nick's car with her own vehicle in
the parking garage of the apartment complex, causing severe damage to
the front of his sports car.
Bobbi had followed Nick back to their apartment in her own Camaro and as
she tried to back into the parking space next to his, she struck his
vehicle.
The couple have since called time on their romantic relationship, new reports suggest.
The
pair announced their engagement last month in a preview for her family's upcoming
reality show Houstons: On Our Own, but the couple have now called off
their relationship.
Nick, 22, tweeted on November 18: '@REALbkBrown and I are not engaged or dating. Just close like we have always been.'
Bobbi Kristina later wrote: 'Spending
time together, sunday night football & Playing with our @nickgordon
new 3DS's! Soooooo... Goodbye !!(:(:(: (sic)'.
The following week she also posted a number of cryptic tweets suggesting she is all alone.

Nick was informally adopted by Whitney when he was 12 and the pair were raised as brother and sister.
They
were 'always close' growing up but their relationship changed as they
got older and they sought comfort in each other after Whitney's death in
February and started living like a couple.
Whitney was found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel room on February 11, 2012.
The
six-time Grammy Award-winning singer, died at the age of 48 due to an
accidental drowning complicated by heart disease and cocaine use.
Nick first fuelled rumours about a relationship with Bobbi Kristina in a tweet written in March, shortly after Whitney died.
He wrote: 'Yea we got a little closer and what!!!'

The controversial couple have reportedly been sharing her $1.2million Georgia home together ever since.
By the age of 30, Bobbi will have
inherited everything that belonged to her mother - mansions, jewellery,
cars, and an extraordinary fortune.
The aspiring actress was recently featured on Tyler Perry's sitcom For Better Or Worse.
She
is now working on the family's reality series, which largely centres
around Whitney's sister-in-law and former manager, Patricia Houston, as
she and her relatives deal with the loss of the legendary singer.
Whitney’s
brother Gary and Bobbi's grandmother Cissy Houston are also expected to
feature in the Lifetime network show, which will detail Nick and Bobbi
Kristina's apparent engagement and break-up.
One
of the executive producers on the show replied to a tweet posted by
Nick this month, writing: '@nickgordon @realbkbrown watch to see how it
all unfolds on #TheHoustons on @lifetimetv (sic).'
