Some people never learn from their mistakes. Celebrities are not immune to this type of stupidity. Falling into that category is Gucci Mane who now faces a potential 20 year sentence for 2 counts of possessing of a firearm as a felon. One of these count occurred when Gucci showed a gun and threaten a police officer, that’s not smart at all. According to CNN.com the federal prosecutor’s news release indicates, however, that there were two incidents in September, two days apart and on the same week that Atlantic Records reportedly dropped Gucci Mane, 33, whose real name is Radric Davis.
“On September 12, 2013, Davis, who was a felon at the time, was found in possession of a firearm,” the release said. “Then, just two days later, on September 14th, he again possessed a firearm different from the earlier gun. On both occasions, Davis displayed the loaded firearm, acted erratically, and made threats to individuals, including police and his attorney.”
Atlanta police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who are investigating the incident, applauded the arrest. Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said in a statement, “We cannot tolerate convicted felons ignoring the law by carrying firearms and endangering our citizens.”
For Gucci’s sake I hope all his hard work to make it in the rap game does not go to waste.
