Rapper T.I., shown left in a 2009 Easter photo with wife Tameka, a friend (in back) and his children, was released from a Federal prison complex in Forrest City, Arkansas on Tuesday after serving seven months of his sentence for weapons charges.
His original sentence was cut short for good behavior, his attorney Steve Sadow said.
The rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., will serve the remaining portion of his sentence at a correctional center in Fulton County, Georgia which comes to roughly three months. The rapper has been placed on house arrest for 23 days, ordered to perform 500 hours of community service in addition to a $100,300.00 fine.
In March of 2009, Harris was sentenced to 366 days in prison by federal prosecutors for furnishing his bodyguard with $12,000.00 to purchase machine guns and silencers.
It was not the first time the platinum-selling artist had been in trouble with the law. In 1998, Harris was convicted in a Cobb County courtroom of possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute and felony drug charges.His felony conviction meant he was not to possess or buy any weapons.
