T.I. ARRESTED IN ATL on weapons charges
Saturday, October 13, 2007

T.I. in Cali earlier this week. (Splash News)
Clifford Harris aka T.I was arrested and jailed just hours before he was to receive the award for Album of the Year and perform at the BET Awards on Saturday.
According to various reports, Harris, 27, was charged with two felonies — possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. The ATF executed a search warrant at his home, and according to Atlanta’s FOX 5 News, T.I., remains in custody.
Hassan Musaddiq, a cameraman for the Atlanta public access hip-hop show “Severe Entertainment,” said he was in the Walgreens parking lot and witnessed the arrest. He was there to pick up a video camera for red carpet interviews.
“I saw the ATF come out of nowhere,” Musaddiq said. “They had them all on the ground. At first, I didn’t even realize it was T.I. It was crazy. There was an unmarked black van and then about 10 squad cars came in.”
Mussaddiq says he saw ATF officers take T.I., his longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and rappers Mac Boney and Young Dro, who record for T.I.’s Grand Hustle record label into custody as well.

T.I. is gonna get some serious heat for this one guys. i just saw the story on the news. Apparently his bodyguard was working with the feds on this one and when t.I. went to pick up the weapons from his bodyguard , who he had purchase the illegal weapons on his behalf, he was arrested right there on the scene and they found a loaded gun in his console……Why T.I………Why…..

I hope this is a set-up. because I love T.I. But if he did buy those guns, then he do need to do the time. And for those who say stop snitchin’, what would you do if your child, mother, sister, brother, or whoever got shot with illegal guns? Call me a snitch all you want. But if you hurt my family, I AM TELLING. I’m not going to help someone continue to live dirty because that makes me dirty. I live by the code of God, not the streets.

I stand behind TI. Ever since his friend got killed, I think protecting his family by any means necessary has been his #1 priority and I dont blame him. You cant trust anyone and his snitch @ss bodyguard proves that fact. TI looks out for EVERYONE in his Grand Hustle family and the ish his bodyguard did to save his own @ss is some punk ish. FREE TI and I hope he doesnt get burnt too bad for this. He is in his prime right now and still has much more to come

Hey I like T.I. as well but come on thiswas dumb on his part. I heard from the news story that they found six guns in the closet and 5 of them were loaded. In the closet? Loaded? when you have kids in the house?! that’s not a good look. I’m not sure if they said anything about him being on probation THOMIAN? Why would he need that many damn guns? The ones he was going to buy, the six in the house, and the three they found in his car during the arrest. Damn the streets is mean but was he planning on going to war? this was just stupid….
Would any of you that are saying stop snitching do all that time for T.I.? nooooo

Ok t.i is worth about 20 mill houses in LA and AtL, condo in new york, has a major role in what seems like will be the movie of the year. And he needs a machine guns because him a russell crow had beef on set of american gangster.hes a felon so hes gonna get sometime for this if its true. Oh i forgot he has 5 kids, how is he gonna tell them daddy is going to jail for stupidity. And this is one of my fav rappers, but wrong is wrong. And so what if it was a set up he shouldnt be around this nonsense in the first place. Do you guys actually think t.i was gonna go shoot up anybody.the funny this is when this guy talk he sounds more intelligent than 99 percent of the rapper but i guess he fooled me

i wouldn’t go to jail for no damn T.I. fan or not. I wouldn’t just offer info up to the police but if it comes down to me or you… it’s you!! That bodyguard ain’t sign up for all that.

@mahogany girl 4ver
People like you need to know how much snitching has help to tear down the black community.
And the true meaning of snitching is when 2 or more people are in the street life and lets say person A gets arrested and decide tell everything they know about b. Another example is if your living that street life let say someone robs you tries to shoot you and you go to the police, now that’s snitching.

Is is only hip hop artists that they wait to arrest hours before a concert or major awards show. Couldn’t they have done this search yesterday or even last week. They seem to come out of nowhere just when artists least expect it. First Lil Wayne and now T.I. I’ve never heard of anyone getting arrested right before the Oscars or Golden Golden Globes. The ATF were definitely trying 2 make a statement w/ this one.
47.
yeah......and what!

CNN said he was arrested at the scene in the parking lot. I believe there are more credible than TMZ LOL. Anyway I’m going to bed. it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

whateva man thats why I don’t live my life in the streets. you reap what you sew. You live by the sword you die by the sword, etc. I’m not for snitching for the heck of it, but like I said if i got caught up in some stuff cuz of somebody else…Guess what I can’t do all this time by myself. Just be glad you don’t know me and i will never have to snitch on you.

I can understand that you all are not in the streets. So you don’t need to worry about snitching, For those that are then you should be a stand up person and live by the code and do your own time. Do all not see that there is a war going on against black America.

No doubt this was a setup, and I don’t believe the story for many reasons. The main one is that the bodyguard was only working for T.I. for about 3 months. Unless it’s a relative or very close friend, T.I. wouldn’t send that nigga to do no dirty work for him. He’s too smart to do some dumb shit like that.

MACHINE GUNS AND SILENCERS FOR A CONVICTED FELON? WTF…was TI up to…just another dumb ass. If you are rich you dont need to resort to doing criminal activity. Teach Clifford Harris a LESON if he is found GUILTY. And as far as this STOP SNITCHING movement let us stop the stupidity because as a child of GOD if I see harm done to a fellow human I WILL TELL. And all you Stop Snitching ppl I hope to GOD you dont lose someone close and dear to you to violence and have lots of witnesses who abide by the stop snitching dumb ass code…I guess then stop snitching will be alright huh? START SNITCHING!!

t.i. is stupid for getting his self caught up like that. dont start nagging me either cuz im a fan of his but when you’re a convicted felon and you do dumb stuff for no reason and get caught all they do is give your more and longer time. its illegal for a felon to have guns or have someone purchase guns for them…so t.i. will be getting no bail or no bond and if he do they gone set close to a million. but what i cant get over is why machine guns???? if he need all that then he better be goin over seas to find terrorist…but i wish him the best even though he most likely will get the worst!
btw that britney perfume is is my ish…i use it day and night!

It’s not one way or another, it can be both and it’s best when person that are in the streets are stand up individuals and not some wild cowboy. Do you remember the scene in Malcolm X where all of the people were line up outside of the police station? Well when that actually happened it was organized by a very high ranking person in the Harlem underworld not by Malcolm. People like that would set up rules that made it so no drugs could be sold in certain parts of a neighborhood in order to keep the area decent. There have even been interviews with retired police detectives that have stated how informants help bring down underworld figures and it harm the community in the long run because these individuals help police the community in ways the police and politicians could never.
