T.I. DROPS THANKSGIVING REQUEST OVER HOUSE ARREST RULE
LATEST: Rapper T.I. has dropped his request for more lenient house arrest regulations, because he felt it was a lost cause.
The Bring ‘Em Out star - real name Clifford Harris Jr. - is a prisoner in his own Georgia home after he was arrested in October (07) for illegal weapons charges.
Harris filed an appeal to a U.S. judge earlier this week (ends09Nov07) to issue a temporary waiver for rules of his house arrest so that he could spend Thanksgiving day (22Nov07) with his family.
But the hip-hop star has now withdrawn his request, citing strong opposition from prosecutors handling the case, reports AllHipHop.com.
Harris has pleaded his innocence in the charges after he was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia last month by federal agents who claim he took possession of three machine guns and two silencers that a bodyguard purchased on his behalf.
He was later released from jail on $3 million (£1.5 million) bail on the condition that he remains at home in Henry County, under 24-hour surveillance, with no more than three visitors at any one time.
