Man Gets 17 Years For Role In T.I. Shooting

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 11:40 PM | 48 comments
By Roman Wolfe

A second man involved in the death of rapper T.I.’s assistant Philant Johnson in Cincinnati, Ohio, has been sentenced to 17-years in prison for his role in the deadly shooting.

 

He admitted to driving the vehicle that chased and exchanged gunfire with members of T.I.’s entourage on May 3, 2006, after a dispute in the club earlier in the evening.

 

His brother, Hosea, was convicted of being the trigger man in the deadly shooting.

 

In December, Hosea was convicted of Johnson’s murder based on his brother’s testimony.

 

He is serving 66 years in prison.

 

"I was a knucklehead," Thomas said after being sentenced by U.S. District Judge Sandra Beckwith. "I wish I could take it back."

 

Thomas was released from prison in 2002, after he served 14 years for rape and robbery.

 

Thomas, 41, was also involved in a massive drug conspiracy, which sent hundreds of pounds of marijuana from California to Cincinnati.

.....Here we go again? T.I. snitched. He didn't snitched. At the end of day, it doesn't even matter b-cuz he got off clean on sum shit that he should've got several years for. There is no real physical proof that he snitched...at least I ain't seen it. Maybe he did talk??? If he did, that nigga makin pretty damn sure that info don't leak like Alf's plea deal.

@Wheredagatersat

You sound like a reformed house nigga with your coonery mocking what you think "thugs" would say. It is said that you can't see the truth past the broken blocks and crap corners you and other sambos' s  slanging empty rhymes in hopes of a 360 Deal that won't equate to sh@#. Get a grip on real sh@#. You are lame, stan, and an embrassment to the community to put a naked picture of T.I. on this message board. Are you serious? What I've gathered so far from you above statements, is that you are a hater. I understand I use to be slow to.


IF YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THE COMMUNITY, BUT CONCERNED ABOUT TI (A RAPPER) SNICTHING, YOU ARE A MISGUIDED "NIGGA".

They still calling us "niggas" in the legislation they write to cut the programs that help those of us who want to be the difference not the problem. You "NIGGAS" need to snitch on your Senator and Congressman. Keep slanging dope on the plantation.

hmm... funny how this article said nothing about TI other than it was his assistant who got shot. and all the comments are about TI snitching hmm... smh. smDh. i have a better idea...

god bless the dead. rip phil.
god bless anybody who would turn on their own blood like that.
god bless TI because he felt his life was in danger because of fools like the thomas brothers, bought himself some guns, and got caught up.

at the end of the day folks, it's over. it was a messy situation with a tragic outcome. nobody wins in this game. each player is either dead or locked up.

im not about to call TI a snitch. i read those papers, nowhere did it say ti snitched. and trust you think the feds give a fuck about your street cred? HAH! and dont give me the "he paid them off" shit. i wish TI all the best. he's the one who is suffering the most from this. his friend died, he knew people were trying to kill him "the bullets were for me not for phil", he bought guns as a felon, and now he's locked up. imagine if that was you and how messed up in the head you would be. and when this man tries to push all the b/s aside and be positive and set a better example for the children, other men (esp black men) SHIT on him and his role as a better person. but tell me what the hell you men are doing to set a good example to the children. instead you're spittin on a man who is trying to better himself and his surroundings. smh. smDh.

Can somebody remind me again what did TI snitch or not snitch about? From What I recall somebody from TI camp hit one of the dudes in the head with a champagne bottle. That act alone deserves retaliation in some form maybe not death but something.

I see the digital goons are in full effect!! This low life just came out in 02 after doing 14 years for rape and robbery. Now gets 17 more years. For a total of 31 years in prison most of his adult life. He comes out at 58 years of age. Knucklehead stay losing.

Speaking of Lo-Lifes of another sort..

There was a crew who rocked all Polo from head to toe. Fly, fresh ni99az. Inspired Russell with his Phat Farm and many others.

B-Bill,  we'll miss you my G.
