More Jail Time?


       Sources at the Atlanta Federal Courthouse and the Alanta Journel-Constituion report that a judge has revoked T.I's probation, and ordered him to serve 11 months in following his arrest for drug possession in Los Angeles on Sept 1, 2010.
In that incident: T.I. and his wife, Tiny, were pulled over in their Rolls Royce after an illegal u-turn on Sunset Blvd. And as a result: “…a U.S. probation officer alleged that T.I. committed three violations of his supervised release from prison: possessing ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon.
T.I. just finished a yearlong bid and 1000 hour community service obligation after his 2007 high-profile gun charge, but he was still on parole, which forbids arrests, drug use, and being in the company of known felons. And one of T.I.’s longtime friends, C-Rod, was in the car with him in L.A. and has a prior conviction.  Meanwhile, Tip’s 6-man legal team said that T.I.’s drugs were prescribed after he had a dental procedure.
T.I. left the court with his family and will immediately launch an appeal. The U.S. Attorneys office says that T.I. will voluntarily surrender.
T.I. begged the judge not to send him back to prison, saying he needed to get help for drug addiction. He told the judge he “screwed up” and pleaded for mercy.
