EFT Report, Chicago: The 17-year-old Chicago rapper Chief Keef was taken into police custody on Jan. 15, 2013 for violating his probation, after visiting a gun range during a filmed interview with Pitchfork Media.
A Cook County judge Carl Anthony Walker declared that Keef had shown a "wilful disregard of the court" when he took a Pitchfork reporter to a New York gun range. Although he is still a juvenile, the Chicago musician now faces a prison sentence; he will be held in jail pending a sentencing hearing on Jan. 17.
Chief Keef, whose real name is Keith Cozart, came close to being shot in December 2011, after he brandished a handgun at Chicago police officers. He was subsequently charged and sentenced to 18 months' probation. Under the terms of the probation, he was ordered to stay away from guns, drugs and gang members, as well as to complete a GED diploma—a high-school equivalency qualification.
