Atlanta Rapper Gucci Mane Sent To Jail

Posted: 2:43 pm EDT September 12, 2008Updated: 2:52 pm EDT September 12, 2008

A judge revoked part of Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane’s probation Friday. The rapper, whose real name is Radric Davis, was handcuffed and taken to jail after prosecutors complained he had only completed 25 hours of the 600 hours of community service he was ordered to perform.

The judge said judging by his record, Davis was not a worthy candidate for probation so he ended some of the rapper’s probation and sent him to jail.

“Mr. Davis, I’m going to revoke one year,” said Fulton County Superior Court Judge John Goger.

Goger decided to revoke one year of 28-year-old Davis’ three and a half years of probation on an assault charge. That means the rapper will have to serve that one year in jail. Gucci Mane was convicted of hitting a promoter in the head with a pool cue.

The judge made the decision after hearing Davis had only completed 25 hours of the 600 hours he was ordered to serve two years ago. It also didn’t help Gucci Mane when prosecutors mentioned that he violated the terms of his probation by drinking alcohol and doing drugs.

“(He admitted) using marijuana and ecstasy,” said probation supervisor Karen Hood.

Just before the judge revoked part of Davis’ probation, he asked if the rapper had anything to say. Gucci Mane told the judge he’d performed community service by speaking to children at schools and events and that he was sorry that the unapproved appearances weren’t properly documented.

“But I promise you, I will never do this again. I will never be back in your courtroom if I can have just one more chance,” said Davis.

The judge denied him that chance in part because he was given a chance to avoid probation revocation in 2006. The judge also said he was revoking it because Davis was arrested for driving under the influence, marijuana possession and possession of a weapon by a felon in Henry County in July.
