T.I. who was arrested this weekend on gun charges apparently had quite a collection and now is facing federal gun charges. His week got that much today when U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman ordered T.I. to remain in jail at least until Friday, when the judge will hold hearings to determine whether he’s eligible for a bond and whether or not there was probable cause to arrest him. Federal prosecutors want to keep him in until trial which will probably be a while and if he’s convicted he’ll face probably five or more years in federal prison.

T.I. attorney Steve Sadow requested the bond hearing be postponed until Friday to give the defense team more time to get ready. Odds are it’ll be pretty tough for T.I.’s defense team convince the judge to allow a bond for a guy who has a prior crack dealing felony conviction and who (at least allegedly) had an small arsenal of weaponry at his College Park home.

His bodyguard flipped on him and said that in September he “delivered a 9-mm pistol to Harris, who invited the bodyguard into his bedroom, the affidavit said. Inside, there was a walk-in closet with a safe tall enough for a person to enter with a fingerprint-reading scanner as a lock, the affidavit said. The safe contained multiple short rifles, including an assault rifle inside a black bag, according to the affidavit.”

Yeah - that’s probably not good…

If you caught any of the I Trust You To Kill me documentary where Kiefer Sutherland acted as Rocco Deluca’s tour manager and showed off his liver fortitude and mobile phone misplacement skills, it should come as little surprise that he failed a field sobriety test and was arrested this morning in LA for driving under the influence, further proving that Kiefer in real life is the bizarro Jack Bauer.

from the AP:

LOS ANGELES – Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Tuesday for investigation of misdemeanor drunken driving after he was stopped for making an illegal U-turn and failed a field sobriety test, authorities said. The actor was pulled over about 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles, said Officer Kevin Maiberger.
Sutherland, 40, tested over the state’s legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent, said Officer Karen Smith. Police declined to say what his blood-alcohol level was. Sutherland spokeswoman Annett Wolf declined to comment.

The actor was released around 4 a.m. after posting $25,000 bail, according to Sheriff’s Department records. Maiberger said Sutherland was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 16.

I guess that interview we were scheduling is gonna get pushed back a bit…

A member of New Found Glory’s crew was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor last night in Indianapolis.

Looks like we need a lil refresher course here. When a police man or woman pulls your car over, be friendly, and if they ask to search your vehicle, tell them, in a friendly tone, “no.”

Unless they have probable cause (for instance, if you’re driving with an open container, if you’re black, or you wear a turban and a beard, or if you have long hair and tattoos), they can not legally search your car. If you have something illegal on you - then ESPECIALLY don’t let them search your car. Let your lawyers handle it.

According to a press release, New Found Glory were traveling in the Indianapolis area, and their tour bus was pulled over for driving with the high beams on. The police pulled them over and searched the vehicle, and a member of NFG’s crew was subsequently charged with a misdemeanor. We have not determined this for a fact, but most likely the cops found something like a dimebag of weed. No one in New Found Glory was arrested, and they will be playing their Warped Tour dates as scheduled.

(I bet you a dollar that one of their roadies is taking the fall for someone.)

You know what? Fuck it, that cop’s a toolshed. I bet you he high fived every meathead in his squad when he got back to the station. Don’t fuck with our rock stars, THEY’RE OUR ROYALTY. You wouldn’t pull over Princess Di, would you?

First Willie Nelson, now New Found Glory? What’s this world coming to?

Don’t let them search your car.
