Rapper T.I. Prison Sentence
Rapper Clifford Harris, aka T.I., aka T.I.P. (i.e. I am getting too old to follow all of these aliases), was sentenced today to one year and one day in prison.
T.I. pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge stemming from an arrest in October of 2007. He agreed to complete 1,000 hours of community service prior to his sentencing, pay $100,000 in fines, and complete an additional 500 hours of community service once his prison term is over.
T.I. has received praise from many, including the Northern Georgia district judge who sentenced him, for going above and beyond what expected of him as part of his plea deal.
T.I. worked off some of those community service hours working on the MTV documentary “Road To Redemption” in which the rapper intervened in the lives of various troubled youths to help get them back on the right track.
Today, he released the following statement:
Via E! Online:
“Today I would like to say thank-you to some, and apologize to all. Everything I learned was through trial and error. I’ve learned lessons in my life to put in my music so people won’t make the same mistakes as I.”
It was also acknowledged by court officials that Harris would receive credit for the 305 days he spent under house arrest. He will also be eligible for early release pending good behavior. Judging by his recent Vegas crotch exposure in which he rubbed a shirt over his sweaty man-hood and threw it to his fans….he’ll love jail. Don’t worry T.I., if Paris Hilton can make it a month in the pokey, you will be fine.
