Da Brat Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison

Posted August 23rd 2008 by Dustin in Arrests & Jailtime | Views: 1,506

Rapper Da Brat (real name: Shawntae Harris) has been sentenenced to 3 years in prison on charges stemming from an incident in late 2007 in which the female rapper physically assaulted a waitress, who was coincidentally an off-duty Atlanta Falcons football cheerleader, with a bottle of rum at Studio 72, Jermaine Dupri’s nightclub in Atlanta. The waitress, Shayla Stevens, sustained a deep cut to the cheek and some swelling on the forehead, and has a permanent scar on her face as a result, officials said.

Harris pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in DeKalb County, and Superior Court Judge Gail Flake sentenced the rapper to 3 years behind bars, 7 years probation, and 200 hours of community service, in addition to completion of substance abuse treatment, mental evaluation and anger management classes.

When people go to jail for long periods of of time you always have to warn them and tell them to be safe for “obvious” reasons. But I don’t think Mr. Harris has that problem. I think the person we should give a heads up to is his cellmate! Watch your back, homie!

It’s not harsh, she should get that many years and even more. She could have killed ol girl with that bottle. She should be an adult and think about the consequences before she do stupid shit. This ain’t the first time she done got in trouble for assault. Evidently she didn’t learn from all the fines and lawyer fees she had to pay last time so they had to ring her back in and teach her a lesson. Really she just like all the rest of the jail members no need to fear for her safety. Brat ain’t had a hit in years and the hit she did have didn’t make that much money for her to be living the life where she can break a costly bottle full of champagne over somebody’s head. Brat think twice, that’s my only advice. LMAO!
