It is nearly two years rapper
born Jeffrey Atkins aka Ja Rule, had
been locked up at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in New York stemming from
a gun conviction, he has completed his jail
term on Feb 21 only to be sent back to another facility where he will serve the
final four months of his 28-month sentence on a tax evasion charge.
Ja Rule was found
with a loaded semi-automatic .40-caliber
Taurus handgun, with the serial number scratched off, hidden in the backseat of
the MC's Maybach in 2011 and was sentenced to serve term over gun charges for
28 months. He is finally free from the charges
but maybe back to jail to serve another four to six months for federal tax
evasion. This time, it will be in a friendlier facility unlike the Mid-State
Correctional Facility in New York .
Even though he has completed his state sentence, but the state and
federal sentences were running concurrently and there is an overage on the
federal one, "He still owes time on the federal charge." Ja Rule's
lawyer, Stacey
Richman told MTV News and she does not know where he would spend the last
months of his sentence.
"It could be in a halfway house or another federal facility or a
camp," said Richman, who noted that Rule still has to pay back $1.1 million in taxes once he is released.
"I wrote to them [federal authorities] and gave them a list of issues ...
We tried to plan for this by filing paperwork
months ago ... But this is not s surprise to anyone. Everyone was expecting this."
This is better than being in the Correctional facility. We hope he
gets out of all these soon and reunite with his family.
