According to NY Daily News , T.I.’s probation officer is seeking that the rapper serve eight to 14 months in jail even though the guidelines are no more than five to 11 months. Tip violated his probation when he and his wife Tiny were arrested for possession of controlled substances and testing positive for opiates.
In the memorandum filed Friday, T.I.’s lawyer said the probation officer erred in asking for eight to 14 months because those are the guidelines for for violent career criminals. The lawyers say that shouldn’t apply to T.I. because his prior conviction for assaulting a Florida police detective does not qualify as a “violent felony.”
T.I. is due back in court on October 15th.
