TI Stuck in Jail
Rapper T.I. will remain in jail while a judge considers his bail terms. The judge is asking for $2.2 million bond in cash.
After entering a plea of not guilty, T.I. will remain in jail at least until October 26 after a judge declined to rule on a bond request from the rapper’s defense team on Friday (October 19).
Despite a pledge to put up $2.2 million in bond, including around $1.5 million in equity on the rapper’s two homes and separate $100,000 bonds backed by five of the top executives at Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records, Magistrate Alan Baverman said he would need more time to consider the bond request in the case, according to CNN. T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) is charged with trying to illegally purchase machine guns and silencers.
T.I.’s lawyers had also proposed that the rapper would stay in his Atlanta-area home with 24-hour-a-day monitoring, and that he would allow an independent monitor to live in the home and search anyone coming or going from the house, with monitoring expenses paid by the rapper. The Associated Press reported that T.I. had also agreed to surrender his passport and right to drive, and to submit to random searches of the home and random drug screening.
"The conditions are so severe, so stringent … he will effectively be in a private jail in his house," T.I.’s lawyer Ed Garland told the court, according to Reuters.
