Baton Rogue, Louisiana rapper Lil Boosie spoke to AllHipHop.com about his upcoming 10 month jail sentence for gun and marijuana possession charges. Lil Boosie, born Torrence Hatch, was arrested in October of 200b8, after police found gun, a bag of marijuana and a cigar loaded with marijuana. Boosie, who recently released his album Superbad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz, is scheduled to be sentenced to 10 months in prison on November 9.
“It’s just a minor setback,” Lil Boosie told AllHipHop.com. “I am not even a convicted felon and they are giving me time.”
Boosie, 25, originally faced a 10-sentence because of the gun and the fact that it was his third time for being arrested for possession of marijuana.
Upon his release, he will be placed on active supervised probation for two-to-five years. Once his probation is successfully completed, the gun charge will be dropped from Lil Boosie’s record. If he is re-arrested, tests positive for drugs or fails to show up for his sentencing on November 9, the full 10-year jail term could be imposed.“Before I take them to trial, I am going to take my year like a real man and come back home and let that boost my career more,” Lil Boosie told AllHipHop.com. “It’s just crazy how the Louisiana court system works.”
