T.I. Released on $3M Bond
Rapper T.I. was released on a $3M bond Friday. He will be confined to his home while awaiting his trial on several weapons charges. T.I. (whose real name is: Clifford Harris) was released from jail in Atlanta, GA after posting a $3 million bond — $2 million in cash and $1 million in equity on property he owns. The U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman agreed to the bond over government objections so long as Harris follows certain conditions, including remaining in a home except for medical appointments and court appearances.
T.I. was also required to surrender his U.S. passport, not own any guns and stay away from witnesses and informants in the case. The only people who will be allowed to live with him are his girlfriend and children. All other visitors must be approved by the court.
T.I., 27, faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. About an hour before a scheduled performance at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, Harris showed up to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers. He already had three guns in his car — one of them loaded — when he was arrested, authorities say. Being that he is already a convicted felon, the weapons charges are pretty hefty if he is convicted.
