| (EZ-Tracks) - Rapper T.I. pleaded guilty yesterday in Atlanta on federal weapons possession charges and is to be sentenced in one year, after completing a period of community service, according to a Billboard.com report. In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the dangers of involvement with guns, gangs and drugs. Harris, 27, was arrested on October 13, just blocks away and hours before he was to headline the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta. He was charged with possession of unregistered machine guns and silencers, as well as possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He faced a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. T.I. initially pleaded not guilty, and has been under house arrest since he was released on $3 million bond on October 26. The plea deal must be approved by a U.S. District Court judge. | ||||||||||||
