tip-tiny T.I. Could Face Jail Time Again

Once again, it looks like the king could be caged soon. The NY Daily News reports that according to court documents, Tip’s probation officer is seeking eight to 14 months for the rapper even though the guidelines is no more than five to 11 months. T.I. 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.”
