Rapper T.I. Will Serve His Time in Arkansas

Atlanta rapper T.I. will serve his prison sentence on federal weapons charges at Arkansas’ low security federal prison Forrest City. The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford J. Harris Jr., must report by noon May 26 to begin his sentence of one year and a day. Harris pleaded guilty to the charges after he tried to buy a stash of machine guns and silencers to protect himself after his best friend was killed. He will also pay a $100,000 fine as part of his sentence.
