T.I. still in hot water...
Rapper T.I. is currently facing trial after being arrested on federal weapon charges and prosecutors in the case say they have evidence that he possessed firearms illegally at least three times in the past few years, all following a prior felony conviction.
The first was Dec. 22, 2001, in Atlanta. T.I. allegedly gave the name Douglas Morgan and was carrying a concealed 9 mm pistol. The arrest didn't result in a criminal conviction. He was arrested Nov. 1, 2002, in Henry County and later convicted of carrying a 10 mm pistol, the document said.
The third arrest was the result of a search warrant executed at his home in Fulton County on Dec. 18, 2004. Officers said they found a firearm with an attached silencer, large amounts of ammunition and photos of T.I. holding weapons. The incident didn't result in a criminal conviction.
T.I. was arrested on charges of selling crack in northwest Atlanta when he was 17. He was sentenced to seven years' probation, which he violated, and was sent to jail.
T.I. is currently out on bond, but under house arrest in Atlanta.
