Eccentric tech millionaire John McAfee has been arrested in Tennessee after being caught driving under the influence and for illegal gun possession, police say.

McAfee, who created the virus-scanning software by the same name, was found driving erratically along a road in Henderson County on Sunday night and was arrested, police said.

McAfee later admitted to being under the influence of Xanax, but said it was a new prescription and he was not aware it would impair his driving.

He added that he is the legal owner of the gun found in his car, and that his only crime was possessing it while intoxicated, which he maintained was an accident.

McAfee, who once amassed a fortune of more than $100million from his security software, has since become known for his increasingly bizarre behavior.

He is also still wanted in Belize for questioning over the murder of his neighbor Gregory Faull, 52, in November 2012.
