T.I. DENIED BOND

T.I. denied bond. Despite a pledge to put up $2.2 million in bond, including around $1.5 million in equity on the rapper's two homes and separate $100,000 bonds backed by five of the top executives at Atlantic Records and Warner Bros. Records, Magistrate Alan Baverman said he would need more time to consider the bond request in the case.



In a scene that a CNN reporter said was the most unusual she has witnessed in decades of covering bond cases, the magistrate surprised the courtroom by requesting that T.I. come up with the full $2.2 million bond in cash. (Typically a person seeking bond only has to put up 10 percent of the requested amount.) D*MN! This is not good T.I.
