T.I will not be charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office for his September 1 arrest on alleged drug possession. Apparently the Los Angeles DA felt that his punishment for probation violation is good enough to teach the Atlanta rapper a lesson.
According to DA office spokeswoman Jane Robinson, her office rejected the filing of misdemeanor charges in part because the rapper (born Clifford Harris) has already been sentenced to serve prison time for a probation violation in connection with the arrest.
According to the Charge Evaluation Worksheet filed Monday morning (October 25) in Los Angeles, "D [defendant] is the driver of a car stopped for traffic violation. Deputy smells marijuana and searches car and occupants for source of odor. Deputy finds 4 pills of ecstasy in D's pants. Deputies also find marijuana in car and other narcotics in possession of one of the passengers. D is on federal probation in Georgia and has already been sentenced to 10 months [ed. 11 months] in prison for violation stemming from this arrest. Given amount of facts above, case rejected."
A spokesperson for T.I. said he is scheduled to turn himself in to begin his prison sentence next Monday. It was unknown T.I.'s jail time will affect the upcoming release of T.I.'s long-awaited "King Uncaged."
