FORREST CITY, Ark. (AP) — The rapper T.I. has reported for a second time to a federal prison to serve time for a weapons violation.

The 30-year-old T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, showed up shortly at the gates of the Forrest City low-security prison, traveling in an entourage of two black Chevrolet suburbans.

Harris served about seven months in the Arkansas prison in 2009 before he was released last December on probation. Last month, a federal judge sentenced him to serve another 11 months in prison for breaking his federal probation after he was arrested on Sept. 1 in Los Angeles on drug charges.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles say they won’t file a felony drug charge against the rapper.
