CHICAGO RAPPER CHIEF KEEF TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BECAUSE OF PROBATION VIOLATION

CHICAGO RAPPER CHIEF KEEF HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY ON JUDGE'S ORDERS OF PROBATION VIOLATION.  THIS IS SOME OF THE LATEST ON CHIEF KEEF'S CASE FROM THE CHICAGO SUN-TIMES:

Chicago rapper Chief Keef was jailed Tuesday after a judge found he violated probation.

Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, appeared in Cook County juvenile court. Cozart, 17, is on probation for pointing a gun at Chicago Police officers.

Judge Carl Anthony Walker found Cozart showed a “willful disregard” of the court. He’s being held until Thursday when the judge will hold a sentencing hearing.

Prosecutors said he violated his probation in June when he visited a gun range in New York. He was prohibited by the judge from having contact with firearms. His attorney Dennis Berkson argued Cozart fired a rifle on private property as part of a promotional video. He said that didn’t violate the spirit of the judge’s order.

But Walker said it was no different than if Cozart handled a gun in a home. In that situation, he would have violated Cozart’s parole, the judge said.
