24 year old rapper Lil Scrappy born Darryl Richardson was involved in a violent incident last night in Dekalb County that landed him in jail. He was stabbed and later arrested. It appears he was trying to defend/help his sister, who was being assaulted by a boyfriend of hers. As a result, Scrappy was stabbed but not in any sort of life threatening danger. The police arrived on the scene found $8 thousand, a gun and 2 pounds of weed in Scrappy’s possession. He is being charged with 2 felonies, marijuana possession and firearm possession along with 2 misdemeanors for obstruction and battery. Lil Scrappy is currently still in custody. He has a bail of $1500 for the misdemeanors but none has been set for the felony counts as of yet. Until an amount is set he will sit in the Dekalb County jail.

On March 20, 2008 he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years of probation, he must also complete a domestic violence program. The part that probably hurt Nate the most was the gun restriction. Nate isn’t allowed to own a gun for the next ten years.
