According to online reports, rapper T.I. was summoned to court to answer to probation violations filed by his probation officer.

“We are very disappointed in Mr. Harris’ recent conduct,” U.S. Attorney Sally Yates said in a statement released Friday. “We will make our sentencing recommendation at the revocation hearing.”

A court date has not been set yet.

T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., was busted during a traffic stop on Sept. 1st in West Hollywood after making an illegal u-turn in his Maybach. A search of the vehicle turned up just 3 ecstasy pills.

According to TMZ, T.I. tested positive for opiates (which can be found in a ton of drugs).

The police report doesn’t mention any other drug found in T.I.’s possession.


The probation violations includes possession of a controlled substance (ecstasy), testing positive for opiates and association with a known felon, Cortez Thomas, stage name C-Rod (pictured above with T.I. at the 2008 VMAs).

As I told you earlier, T.I.’s best friend, former P$C member C-Rod and his girlfriend Vanity, were taken into custody along with T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle during the Sept. 1 traffic stop.

Coincidentally, C-Rod was among those arrested, along with T.I. and Tiny, in a Walgreens parking lot on October 13, 2007, the day the BET Hip Hop Awards was taped in Atlanta.

That arrest resulted in a 12 month-and-one-day sentence for T.I. in federal prison (he was released to an Atlanta halfway house in Dec. 2009 after serving 9 mos.). But charges were dropped against C-Rod, even though it was alleged in ATF documents that Harris gave Thomas $7000 to give to a bodyguard for the purchase of firearms and silencers.

According to court papers documenting the probation violation charges, Harris’s “probation officer did not give the defendant permission to associate with Cortez Thomas.”

According to the Smoking Gun:

Thomas’s rap sheet includes marijuana, cruelty to children, and property damage convictions. Additionally, Georgia court records show that Thomas’s rap sheet was recently supplemented with fresh felony convictions. Arrested in February on gun and Ecstasy possession charges, Thomas pleaded guilty in late-May to four counts, but somehow avoided a prison sentence (instead, he was sentenced to a whopping 15 years probation).
