T.I. made his initial appearance in court on Monday (October 15) to answer to weapons charges following a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives sting on Saturday in which he was charged with trying to buy machine guns and silencers.

The rapper will have plenty of time to think about the charges, since U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman denied bond and scheduled a hearing for Friday, at which he’ll decide whether there was probable cause to arrest the rapper and if T.I. will qualify for bond before a trial. Full story.
