T.I. is heading toward a courtroom showdown. The rapper has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges that came out of a July argument with a security officer at his gated community, and he is asking for a trial.
According to reports at the time, T.I. was charged in July with simple assault, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct after a verbal altercation with a security officer named Euwan. Euwan reportedly told police he felt threatened during the encounter. Those are accusations, and T.I. has not been convicted of anything.
The Blast reported that T.I. believes he can win if a jury hears the whole story. According to that report, the rapper says the argument started after he called out the officer for allegedly sleeping on the job. He also claimed the officer was the aggressor and told the outlet that the responding police were “white cops in a very white area.”
A hearing in the case is set for November 20. We will see how the story plays out from here.
