T.I. may be getting handed a “get out of jail free” card. Well sort off? Maybe. Hip Hop recording artist T.I. pleaded guilty to illegal firearm possession charges in May. It seems that the artist must have a solid criminal defense attorney. And by solid, I mean he may be released early to a halfway house to finish his sentence in January 2010.
Hip-Hop Artist T.I.
Edmond Ross, who is a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson explained that it is not a rarity for inmates to serve the last part of their sentence in a halfway house in order to help them ease their way back into life outside of prison.
If T.I. gets cut a break he’s still not quite done making up for his mistakes. His March 2008 plea deal included the following stipulations:
- 1,500 hours of community service speaking to at-risk youth
- $100,000 fine
- A year of house arrest after prison
- 2 years probation
T.I. was arrested at the end of the 2007 BET Hip-Hop Awards. He was attempting to acquire silencers and machine guns from his bodyguard who had made purchases from undercover officers.
