Mystery person wants drug rehab for rapper T.I., not prison return


UPI News Service, 10/23/2010 

T.I. should be sent to drug rehabilitation, and not prison, for violating his parole, an unnamed person said in court documents in Atlanta.

Someone calling him or herself "Citizens of the State of Atlanta Georgia," filed the documents in federal court, the Internet entertainment Web site TMZ.com reported.

A judge in Atlanta sentenced the rapper to 11 months in prison last week for violating his probation in a 2007 federal weapons case.

Neither the rapper, nor prosecutors, knows who filed the new court documents, the report said.

In the motion asking for the rapper's jail sentence to be amended, the filer said it is a waste of money to jail someone for drug use.

The rapper's attorney, Steve Sadow, told TMZ despite the well-intentioned gesture, he has no plans to appeal the judge's sentencing.

"I screwed up," the rapper told the court at his trial. "I screwed up big time, and I'm sorry. I'm truly and sincerely sorry. I don't want and I don't need to use drugs anymore. I want them out of my life."

The recording artist spent a year in prison and a halfway house after pleading guilty to a federal weapons charge in connection with a 2007 incident in which he used a bodyguard to attempt to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers from an undercover government agent.
