TI's former bodyguard Corey Williams has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for his role in purchasing illegal weapons for his employer. As previously reported, the rapper, real name Clifford Harris, has previously been convicted of the crime of possessing said illegal weapons, and sentenced to a thousand hours of community service as well as, like his employee, a year and a day in prison.
TI would similarly have faced a lot longer in prison (up to ten years) had he not secured a plea deal, which in his case, allowed him to perform the aforementioned community service in lieu of doing time. He has completed those hours already, by speaking at schools and community centres as well as filming the MTV reality series 'Road To Redemption'. Which sounds very, very tough.
TI will begin his custodial sentence sometime next month. Corey Williams has already begun his sentence, like normal people do.
