"Rapper T.I. was arrested early Wednesday in Henry County, Georgia, outside Atlanta, according to authorities.
The musician, whose legal name is Clifford Harris Jr., was arrested outside the gated community where he resides.
The Henry County Sheriff's Office said T.I. was cited on misdemeanor charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness after an alleged incident about 4 a.m. in Stockbridge, south of Atlanta.
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, T.I. did not have his key and argued with a guard, who refused to let him in.
He has since posted bond.
In a statement provided to CNN, attorney Steve Sadow said T.I. was "wrongfully arrested early this morning when he attempted to gain entrance into his gated community -- where his wife 'Tiny' and his family reside.”

"I'm not sure if famous rapper T.I actually lives here!" ~ Guard who was asleep on the job
The guard was asleep on duty. Completely his fault. Every single step it was his fault.
He's *T.I.*..... He's in *Atlanta*..... You know how big T.I. is in Atlanta? How the hell you don't let him in his own home in his own city?
No breathalizer test.. no charges... He probably was being a bit irate not being allowed back into his community he pays for..
Cops are out to get T.I. He's an advocate for his community, and is also against police brutality. Any excuse they can get to arrest or harass him is a plus.
T.I. Is famous here. That guard knew who he was. That was a power play.
The number one thing is why was the security guard asleep on the job? This calls for automatic termination. If the security wasn’t asleep he would have seen him come in the first time
Absolutely!
Agreed.
Even on the off chance that there was no racism factoring into anyone's decision making, all people involved deserve to be fired. You're a guard and you're asleep on the job, and when someone trying to get in gets confirmed as a resident but you don't let in him? A scarecrow would be a better guard. And a cop who comes to that scene and doesn't simply chastise the guard and takes the wife's word and lets him in? Waste of taxpayer money on an unethical cop.
The entire 911 call was released . I don't know how in the world it escalated to this. He just wanted the guards name because he was sleeping when he pulled up
The homeowners should be upset that the security guard that they pay was asleep.
I worked as an security guard. Sleeping on duty is a automatic dismissal. What's even wrose he denied access to a client. That guard is gone.
You don't know what I'm talking about. So you come out with a half cocked reply. Please sit down and read before you reply.
I am a supervisor security officer a guard should never be sleep... Point Blank .
Deondrae Lewis if i was to ever do a security job, ill just bring my dog just incase i fall asleep
that's rule#1. guards can kick back and not have it as stressful as most jobs but sleeping is the one major thing that you can't do.
Point Blank? How the hell is point blank applicable here?
Fire the guard period. I don't care if it was an old lady as a guard. Fire the guard.
His wife voucher for T.I. FIRE THE GUARD
Gersson B that guard is sooooooooooo fired. Like, if you could fire him multiple times… That’s what would happen
Jotaro Kujo what do you mean the sleeping guard wasn’t doing his job?
I live in Atl proper, this kind of stuff is why, there are enough incompetent white people depending on minorities to pay their mortgage in the city, when you get to the burbs its all like that.
Yup. Fire the guard for his incompetence and charge T.i. for the crimes he committed.
TMZ just released the video of TI and the cop who arrested him. TI at least three times asked why he was arrested. The officer couldn't give a valid reason at all. During their exchange TI was respectful and didn't seem drunk at all.
Laquana Davis do you have a link to this?
+sir slick rock u lazy
Laquana Davis The cop said he would answer the question in court.
Everyone has a right to be drunk! And He was basically at home!
Joe T “basically home” is not home. Follow the law.
Dirty Red What law? He wasn’t driving. And he wanted to get into his neighborhood! He didn’t break any laws! Where was he supposed to go? Sleep on the street that night?
TI has been famous for over 15 years.. and he has looked the same for 15 years... this guard doesn’t know the ppl who live there??? He can’t do a google search?
They picked the wrong guy
Christopher Reed exactly what I thought when I read this LMAO
he shoulda called the avengers not his wife
The security guard was asleep? I feel so much safer.
A security guard that he pays!! He proved he lives there, according to the guard's own rules and regulations (re: call confirmation), so the guard should have let him in
the cop should arrest the security guard for not letting him in his community
Teresa D'Alessio - Unless T.I. assaulted him or damaged property, the call to the wife should've ended their interaction. He may say he called the police because T.I. was intoxicated, but doing that to rich people will get you fired.
Teresa D'Alessio The guard did let him in... But TI returned later and started harassing the guard while intoxicated..
Security officer sleeping on the job. Automatic termination. No questions asked.
That damn security guard did not want to lose its $20 plus an hour job. Because T I caught him sleeping and sleeping on the security job is fastest way to get fired.
this just show that it does not matter how much money you make and how decent you present yourself to others there will always be a stigma about your color in this society
Why was the security guard sleep on the job anyway?
that's obvious: he was tired...of being employed :D
The guard is supposed to be awake! Fire him for sleeping on the job!
"This is America". Race is involved in everything we do in America.
KWB thats because racist blacks n the sneaky left wing media make it about race 24/7.
why wouldn't they let him in, if they called the house. so many wrong events. that guy needs to be fired and charged. that police department needs to be sued for harrassment
Some of these comments indicate that a lot of folks did not actually watch this video. They appeared to have started conversations based off the title alone.
Tope Adekanbi what a stupid title. Where is the tithe that reads " killed while being white" when a black cop shot an unarmed def white guy?
Thats so stupid everybody knows who TI is!
I live in gated community. It's amazing but if any new security guard doesn't let me into my own home I'd be furious and tell management to fire him.
Nate your probably, white ,it might work
Nate same here I live in Newport Beach CA in a gated community it is amazing I kind of went threw the see.thing as t.i. and it sucks when your getting herrast especially by a new guard it's a bitch with the herrasment bs I'd be furious af to
Nate and I'm Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 so I get looks here and there like I live in the wrong place or some shit my dad a lawyer mom's a cop and a house wife
Why was the guard sleeping?
Aston Fletcher it was past his bedtime lol
He was mah fuckin tied
The guard called the police because he was caught sleeping on the job and he didn’t want to get in trouble with company.
Shouldn't the guard have been awake anyway?
Fire the guard for sleeping & disrespecting an owner
“This is America...” perfect example. Smh
Security guard is getting fired.
When cops PUT THAT MANY CHARGES ON a person, its all about stacking charges and hoping something sticks!!! It’s called POTPC!!
T.i. has been speaking out and now he gets arrested. My conspiracy senses are tingling lol
Fire the the guard FOR SLEEPING ON THE JOB...
That security guard should be fired for sleeping on the job. I’m a security guard myself, and I can tell you from personal experience that being caught sleeping on site when you’re supposed to be working is a firing offence (it didn’t happen to me, but rather to a coworker whose shifts I ended up taking over after his dismissal).
and when I get shit faced drunk and wake you up screaming it in your face unintelligible . . . . you're gonna take my word and the word of some bitch he put on his phone screaming at you also ?
You gonna be fired too bro .
Thundarr100 No, you set him up so you could steal his hours.
Thy Horror
If you have to scream at me in order to wake me up, then that means that I was asleep on the job, which I already said was a firing offence. Because you can’t be protecting the business or community that you were hired to protect WHEN YOU ARE ASLEEP!!!!
Had the security guard been awake and alert in the first place, LIKE HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE, then this entire situation would have been avoided.
The guards of the $1M plus communities are regulars/tenured to that community/ long term employees....they KNOW who lives in those communities. The guards make it a point to know/recognize who lives in those communities. TI was targeted and the guard was paid to play a "I was asleep" role.
The guard was wrong to be asleep but he's not supposed to let anyone in unless he knows them! M ay be he was a new guard . If you let someone in you don't know you get firwd.
i worked a t place like that as a guard when i was going to college and i didn't know who any of the people were. then again my job wasn't at the gate. it was to watch out for prowlers who could've sneaked in. i remember seeing some faces of some of the people living inside the community but i have no doubt that i didn't see everybody.
I used to be a security guard, and falling asleep was the biggest no-no you could do. Meaning, NO second chances, you got your ass fired on the spot! I don't know what company this guard works for, but I have a feeling sleeping was NOT in the job description.
Bluelady4848 LOL I was a security guard at the FedEx airport in Louisiana and I fell asleep in the booth I swear I only fell asleep for like 2 minutes they claim took them 30 minutes to wake me up but anywho I didn't get fired I just got moved to another location where the security level wasn't is high but yeah it's hard not to fall asleep sitting around doing nothing you know so I understand that they be trying to have two or three jobs these days trying to make ends meet
But it's Atlanta. EVERYBODY knows who T.I. is. They knew he lived in that community. They just put him in jail because he probably tried to put down that gate guard for sleeping and being difficult about letting him in; knowing damn well who he is. You know like: You're not gonna talk to me like that. I'm calling the police.
The fact that there isn't a clear reason for his arrest tells you that there's something *petty* going on here.
athews1976 I agree
Why is the guard sleeping on the job?
Isn't one of the roles of a guard, especially a guard on duty, to stay awake?
Nx Doyle - He actually has Daredevil-like perception as he snoozes...
Zero evidence this had to do with race, "don't know what race the security guard is" as if that even matters, and yet you can't help but feel race has something to do with it. Could it be that you believe that either race, racism, or both is hiding behind every motivation so you're trying to fit a narrative?
Let me show you the absurdity. If you leave out motivations, video, evidence and the race of the police officers and security guards, why not leave out the race of TI? All it takes is a single step further to say "Man not allowed into apartment complex while intoxicated. I dunno why, but I think race was involved, even though I don't know the race of anybody involved." It's not any more intellectually dishonest on principal.
There is a video of TI questioning the arresting officer in lock up. He appears to be pretty coherent and sober. Standing up against a wall not stumbling not falling over and not slurring his words. I call BS on this arrest and the cop in the video was a straight ass hole. He told TI he did not have the right to come back to the gated community. Like fa real!?? Why don’t I have the right to come back to my community where I live?
Geneva Martin So he was drunk and then later on, he wasn’t ? Do you think he sobered up ?
Geneva Martin hmm
Geneva Martin it's his legal right to walk around his community, without prejudices. The police was 100% wrong. I would sue. Trust. .
The officers were black to so it couldn't be racial profiling.
Matty Natural Horsemanship that isn't how systematic racism works.
How do you live in Georgia and not know who she TI is?
Bishop THANK U PREACH HOW TF U DONT NO TI
dandagod official hope they get sued always doing dumb shit why I don't like police now
so the guard was asleep on the job?...instant termination. anyone that worked security knows that you never sleep on post. My speculation for that guard calling the cops is that T.I. was drunk and cussing that guard tf out. lol
Tip went back to get the security guards name. Since the guard know that he was sleep he didnt want to give T.I. his name. And you know the rest.
So he went out, got drunk, and went home? Yeah that seems like an arrestable offense.
rj jr Yeah most of not all gated communities register the cars of the residents, so its unlikely that he was driving.
I live in atl, i'm not giving drunk driving a pass, my broke ass can take uber, he can too. that doesn't excuse the sleeping guard with an attitude problem. the more exclusive places they know the residents, when i do catering in them they know i'm coming, they are paid to know everyone's business, not take a nap.
This is America.
Did T.I. tell the Cop "You don't know me!" ?
The guard was ASLEEP! He's not doing his job when sleeping, he should be fired.
Ridiculous,he lives there.pays his dues and the guards salary..
Technews that's why he said tip attacked him,to save face.
the world needs a ti & cenk interview
Why have a guard if he’s gonna be asleep? Lmao
I'm betting the rapper guy wasn't but too happy (rightfully) that the guard for the community he probably pays a TON for was asleep like that and gave him a piece of his mind. The guard was probably white and at least a little racist and didn't take too kindly to being chewed out by an "uppity" black guy and figured "well I'll show him" and called the cops.
He's sleeping on the job. Doing so well guarding while asleep.
T.I was not drunk look at the tmz video of him getting booked
RogueRonin People sober up over time. Not sure if you’ve ever drank before
K so you think he wasn't drunk that don't change that he assaulted the security guard and got arrested for being disorderly. At 4am.
Guys, TMZ has the full audio & T.I. is in the right. He was basically arrested for being black while black.
The Eric or because he was drunk and disorderly?
Dirty Red no, b/c he was a black man trying to get into his house & the guard wouldn't let him inside even after his wife vouched for him. All the cops had to do was escort him inside case closed. Get your head out of your ass.
If you listened to the TMZ tape the cop said roughly the coming back an acting a foll is what got him arrested. If he is coming back that sounds as if he made it to the house wanted to come back and read the guard the riot act. The guard may have mishandled the situation but TI was also wrong coming back. If TI had issue he could have taken it up with the manager or HOA the next day while sober. He likely would have gotten more done if truly felt wronged.
Robert Bogie what are you talking about. He is paying the mans salary. As T.I pointed out he paid millions of dollars to live there and the guard was fast asleep. He came back to get his name. On the tape he says I am going to report you to the proper authorities. As a home owner he is in his right. I have a doorman in my building and my fees pay his salary. As a young woman I am willing to pay for that security. So you better be doing your job and if you are not damn right I am going to question you.
The Eric you’re telling me to get my head out of my ass when you are arguing for someone who broke the law? You’re hilarious! 🤣
Trolls be trollin...its TI. How many times has he come thru those gates and they knew exactly who he was? That gate keeper will never work again in that profession. Bet!
I watched the videos and it was nothing but sheer jealousy! All of them were jealous period! Even the supervisor.
Dude u don't let me into my house we are fighting bro
Must be hard to be rich and black. Poor and black, middle income and black. Damn, waking up black. Still love my life despite other folks. You will never take my joy of life away from me.
As soon as I'm free that guard would be fired he make it work somewhere else but he would never work there again
They know his face, he's been famous for over 10 years, and they know they protect celebrities when they get the job. They know famous ppl live there
@Zainah Green I agree!!
Zainah Green I agree!!
fire that guard sleeping on the job, calling the cops on t.i!
I go to stores where the workers know me. If I pay millions of dollars for a home the guard at the gate should know who I am. How many homes are there in a gated community? I do maintenance work for HUD and know damn near every tenant in 256 units
Derek Cottrell there’s about 10-15 house in the neighborhood ,very small so 1 the guard should know who he is and 2 if you live in atl you should know who tf t.i. Is🤦🏽♂️
Hold on...when the police showed up..instead of keeping the peace..arrested him?
So Cool say that then
Arrested for trying to go home
Why even call the wife if you weren’t going to believe her?
Kelly Fortune
Yeah I know right.
"Gated Community, HOA? Just don't" Perfect advice. You're *not* safer in any of those types of homes. Especially the HOA's where the committees will spend 90% of their time harassing you over *every* minor infraction of their random, petty rules.
The guard calls the house which means its protocol, if its confirmed let him in. Why would the guard call if he cant do that for confirmation? The guard called, should have honored that call.
Why was the guard sleeping anyway. Isn’t he payed to be up.
Black people in gated community? That's impossible arrest him!
Can we stop excusing actively racist behavior by calling it unconscious bias?
The guard should be awake
has anyone ever heard how TI talks and or how he communicates with people? Hes one of the most intellectual people when it comes to communicating and Im sure the ONLY ASSAULTING HE DID WAS "ASSAULTING THERE INTELLIGENCE!! SERIOUSLY HE A SMART WELL SPOKEN MAN!!!!DESPITE POPULAR BELIEF OF HIM BEING A RAPPER!!!
Anyhow the security Guard needs to be fired, and Police also need to be charged for false arrestation, and more than that.
Snowflake Alert! No name calling, idiot. Oh well, after this observation of you 🤣
When a cop arrest someone they must read the Miranda rights first in this case the cop had the body camera on him and not once had the officer read the Miranda rights to ti he just simply put him in cuffs for no reason so I think ti should sue the police department or get the cop fired and the security fired because that was pure bullshit especially when ti owns two properties in that gated community....
This is America
Merica
Guns in my area
They Took Er Jerbs, durka durrrr
Well I disagree it’s the security guards whole job is to watch the grounds and watch the gate that is his only job!! So falling asleep is not really an option
Sleeping on the job should get him fired. He did not do his job!
He could show his license which has his address? Case solved. Maybe I'm too smart.
1_New Friend yes u are I doh understand how that was so hard but he black so now we know
1_New Friend maybe he just didn't have it with him if he was making a quick run
It was revealed that the security guard was African American. The guard stated that he did not know who TI was? I thinks the guard was jealous!
Angel Shows : HE COULD HAVE NOT KNOWN 😎😎😎😎
Should of been kanye. Would of been funny.
If the guard loses his job, he can always work as a ethics overseer in the Trump Admin.
Mike Layton OF COURRRRSE!
Everyone would be frustrated if the security guard wouldn’t allow them to go home! Where would you go? What could you do? Sleep on the street? Get a hotel room?
not a guard. just a body filling up space.
Reasons I refuse to live in a gated community. Nobody tells me when or if I can get to my own home. I refuse to live in a homeowners association type of community because nobody tells me what I can or can’t do to my own home.
These cops need to be fired!!
Mark Broadhurst if you have to ask why then you dont understand the situation. And im not saying all police have to be fired just the bad ones.
Charged for public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and simple assault (because the security guard "felt" threatened). Charges eventually reduced to Public Cursing(because that was the only thing that would legitimately stick, bogus as that law is) to which Mr Harris plead no contest and paid $300. The guard who was totally asleep on duty and barely able to function or answer questions was later terminated, and I understand the supervisor who should have been working to deescalate the situation rather than paint Mr. Harris as the problem, was also terminated.
*asleep
Mind informing me where I can find the updates about the those two being fired… further more the inexcusable/disrespectful/ judgmental MULTIPLE condescending remarks the arresting officer made should be enough for him to be have to answer for. Well done TI for keeping cool even tho you didn’t stand a chance from the beginning. You knew once you bonded out and the lawyer took over it was CHECK MATE on them! Well done T.I.P! All respect!
@@HubCityProduct Gosh I can't remember. It's been a while and I had to really dig to find all the info. It's probably still online if you do a search on "T.I. Arrested gated community employee terminated" you can probably get enough hits to find what you need. Yeah the cops were in the wrong too, AS USUAL!
It’s a business to make money that’s why they arrest people for no reason these days
I have worked security and all you have to do if they dont have id is call. ( get confirmation that they live there ) let them in .simple
The guard was sleeping on duty, he should be fired and sued for the inconvenience and arrest of TI.
THIS CRAP IS GOING ON EVERYWHERE! COFFEE SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, STORES, AND WHILE DRIVING, DAM!
That's great security. Sleeping on the job.
T i got off lucky that the security guard didn't go into George Zimmerman mode and take a free kill.................
The guard should not have been sleeping
So... The way I read it on TMZ is that TI actually made it through the gate, parked his car and walked back to the security post at the gate. If that is the case then he is the one who is wrong. This version (TYT) makes it sound a certain way that would lead me to believe TI was wrongfully arrested. Fact checking is so important and Both sources typically do but I'm thinking TMZ's version may be a bit more correct, in this case. If TI was finally granted access, however much it was inconvenient for him, he should have gone home. He could have called the company employing the security guard, made a complaint and saved himself jail time. These times are scary for people of color. I'm definitely worried it will only get worse, however, it seems he was wrong regardless of the race of the guard if he did gain access and go back to the security post on foot. I would imagine he would have been charged with more if he had his car when the cops were called because then it would have been evident he was driving under the influence.
A Guard is suppose to guard not sleep. He should be fired for sleeping on the job.
The security guard sounded Jamaican on the 911 call. He purposely avoided telling the 911 dispatcher that he was sleeping when she kept asking him how did this start.
T.I. Regularly speaks out against injustices against black Americans too.
