R&N - 10/14/07 - T.I. Update Pt.1

Wow... News definitely developed over the course of the night...

So lemme try break it down for y'all...

T.I. was arrested by the ATF (Bereau of Alcohol, Tobbaco, Firearms & Explosives) for allegedly attempting to purchase 3 machine guns and 2 silencers from an undercover agent, acting as an arms dealer.

The guns were reportedly found in his home. Police also found 6 more firearms in his closet! He has been charged with felony possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.

T.I. supposedly paid almost $21,000 in cash to his bodyguard to buy more than 25 firearms .

The bodyguard made a number of phone calls to T.I., and apparently, they were recorded by the ATF. The bodyguard said "he had everything," and T.I. told him to deliver them to him yesterday. T.I. will be in federal custody until Monday, October 15. Then, he will appear before US Judge at the US Courthouse in Atlanta.

Folks... The Hip-Hop Police is in FULL SWING!

R&N - 10/13/07 - BREAKING NEWS!

UPDATE: Did I honestly say that I was done?... my bad....

TI - Arrested in ATL!


T.I. was in "Body Tap" last night, a strip club in ATL, and a fight broke out between his crew and some other crew. He was taken into custody, PLUS his house was raided. Because of this, you won't be seeing him in the BET Hip-Hop Awards tonight. Homie was lined up for 9 awards tonight. He's gonna win at least 3 of them. More news as it develops...

Ironically, I just turned it on BET and see TI & Nelly on Hip-Hop vs. America... "West Side Detroit, yo! I'm a PIMP." :-p

The BET Hip-Hop Awards will be aired Thursday, October 17th.

Another UPDATE: I hope I'm wrong, but it is rumored they arrested him because his bodyguard tried to buy him "machine guns". That doesn't sound right, at all! But that's what is rumored to be the reason they raided his house...
