According to TMZ we are learning that rapper T.I. was arrested early this afternoon in Atlanta. Apparantly the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms) showed up at his house with search warrants and FOX news in Atl. is saying that the rapper is still in custody.
Nothing has been confirmed or denied about the investigation. We will keep you updated as the story unfolds.
UPDATE: This is what TMZ is reporting on T.I.'s arrest:
"According to the Feds, T.I,, whose real name is Clifford Harris, was busted after they learned one of his bodyguards was allegedly trying to purchase machine guns for the musician. Authorities say the bodyguard admitted to purchasing about nine firearms for T.I. in the past and about 17 firearms for other people in the musician's posse on previous occasions. The bodyguard claims the rapper gave him cash to purchase the guns, because T.I., as a convicted felon, was not able to legally buy firearms. The bodyguard was arrested last week trying to buy several guns. After his arrest, the bodyguard agreed to cooperate with authorities-- that cooperation led to today's arrest."
