T.I. Sentenced to One Year in Jail

Written by News One on March 27, 2009 10:57 am

A judge has sentenced Rapper T.I. to one year and a day behind bars on federal weapons charges.

The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was sentenced Friday.

He will have between 30 and 60 days to report to prison. He already has completed about 1,000 hours of community service and has warned youths about the pitfalls of guns, drugs, violence. He will need to complete 470 more hours.

Harris pleaded guilty last March after he was arrested in 2007, attempting to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers. The arrest happened blocks away from where he was to headline the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta hours later.

    wow that is pretty intense, i love T.I. and his music. and yes i think a 1 year sentence was actually a good idea because he has to serve his time for what he did (just like everybody else). but him staying in prison would atleast give him time to think about what he has done and become a better man when he gets out. it would also give him time to write better music and get alot of platinum records. can you just imagine him rising up again like micheal jackson? well i wish the best for him and his family and no matter what, he would always be my #1 fan! :)

    I’m going with Ceazia, this is bulls**t. I believe in order for other to learn from his mistakes, then the book should have been thrown at this young a*****e. I won’t wish him any bad luck, but his next journey might be with his best friend. He didn’t learn a damn thing from all the BS he’s done before, and he’s done some stupid s**t. LESTEN UP it’s not the money, that’s keeping him out, I think it’s the SNITCHING.
