T.I.’s lawyers asked a federal judge today (November 6) to let the rapper host Thanksgiving at his Atlanta home.
As reported earlier, T.I. was arrested on October 13th for trying to purchase a machine gun and two silencers from his bodyguard. He would be
released on $ 3million bond two weeks later and was put under house arrest until his trial. As part of the conditions of his release, T.I. was to live with his girlfriend and children in his Jonesboro
home and was not allowed to leave the residence or have any visitors without the court’s approval. According to The Associated Press, T.I.’s lawyers gave the judge a list of the rapper’s
family members to approve to visit their client’s house for Thanksgiving on November 22 from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.,
under the supervision of a current monitoring service. T.I. also asked the judge to allow his housekeeping workers to have access to his house to maintain
it. T.I. has been indicted on charges of possessing unregistered machine guns and silencers; unlawfully possessing machine guns; and of being a convicted felon
in possession of firearms. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The rapper faces five or more years behind bars, if convicted.
