T.I. Drops Request for Thanksgiving at His House

Rapper T.I. has decided to withdraw his appeal to a judge to ask for permission to host Thanksgiving at his Atlanta home. The star - real name Clifford Harris Jr. - was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia in October 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 the condition that he remains at home, under 24-hour surveillance, with no more than three visitors at any one time. But T.I. wanted to make Thanksgiving an exception to the rule, and filed a motion on Tuesday to ask for a temporary waiver. However his lawyers dropped the request Thursday, citing opposition from prosecutors. "In light of the government's opposition said motion is withdrawn," the motion read. http://www.thebeatstlouis.com/cc-common/news/news_music.html
