No Limit Records honcho Master P, aka Percy Miller, and his brother Vyshonn, aka Silkk the Shocker have been sentenced to community service after appearing in court over that previously reported 2005 incident when the pair were stopped by police and found to have loaded firearms in their vehicle.
Both brothers pleaded guilty to charges of carrying unloaded, unregistered weapons and were ordered to perform 40 hours of community service and each fined $700. Shortly after their arrest in January last year, Percy Miller told AllHipHop.com: "Black man with gun, white cop panic. I'm a businessman. If the cops stopped panicking for one minute, they would've realised that the guns were registered, and that is legal in America. It's a different way of life for a person of color with money than it is for others with money." Except that the guns weren't registered, evidently, or so their no-contest pleas would imply.
Anyway, given that they weren't sent to prison, it's a good week for the Miller family. As reported yesterday, the third Miller sibling Corey, aka C-Murder, has had his 2003 conviction for the 2002 killing of sixteen year old Steve Thomas overturned and it's thought he'll be released from prison this week.
