Apparently, songstress Angie Stone was rushing to get her praise on when she was arrested in Atlanta for speeding the other day.

According to her rep, Angie’s arrest for driving on a suspended license came as she was driving to church on Sunday, which would explain Angie’s calm angelic smile in her mugshot.

Angie’s rep explained to TMZ, that she was completely blindsided by her run-in with cops and had no idea there was a warrant out for her arrest.

According to the rep, Angie had a prior speeding ticket which went unpaid because she changed addresses recently … and never got the physical ticket in the mail.

We’re told Angie has since paid the ticket — and is currently in the process of tying up any other legal loose ends.

I’ve been in this city a looooong time and have NEVER heard of the DMV sending speeding tickets in the mail, but whatev!

At least she got it all cleared up…
