T.I., Free At Last?



Looks like our boy Clifford Harris, Jr., better known as rapper T.I., was finally released from federal custody on $3 million bond Friday, October 26th. Two third of the funds were paid by Harris and Atlantic Records, with the remainder secured by his house in Jonesboro, GA. Though unfortunately, it doesn't end there. U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman ordered that T.I. must remain confined to his home, awaiting trial on weapons charges. The exceptions to this order are extremely limited, including medical appointments and court appearances. Harris cannot own any firearms, have contact with witnesses or informants in the case or even consume alcohol. To enforce these rules, he will be under 24 hour surveillance by Judicial Corrections Services Inc., a company run by former U.S. Marshal and Fulton County Sheriff Robert McMichael, and his movements will be monitored by a GPS tracking system. Additionally, visitors are restricted to just three at a time between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. only, and must first be cleared with a criminal background check. Now that seems a bit excessive. I guess such is the consequence for not just talking it, but REALLY living it. Maybe he let that American Gangster role go to his head! Anyway, we'll keep you posted...
