Lil Durk Pleads Guilty To Weapons Charge



Lil Durk pleaded guilty to gun possession Tuesday after a yearlong court battle, according to Chicago Tribune.

Cook County Judge Joseph Kazmierski, Jr. sentenced Durk to 18 months of probation.

Durk, 20, promised to keep his nose clean when speaking with reporters.

“The key word is I’ll be staying out of trouble,” he reportedly said. “You can put a capital N – for never.”

Durk has no problem with probation. In song “0 to 300,” he raps, “Try to give me, probation, I’ll take it any day/I don’t smoke or drink anyway.”



According to Durk’s attorney Sam Adams Jr., the OTF frontman reportedly spent more than 150 hours volunteering for CureViolence at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The judge sentenced Durk to volunteer for an additional 50 hours.

Judge Kazmierski told Durk to be “part of the cure” for the violence in the city.

Durk took to IG to thank his attorney for his legal representation.

“S/o Sam Adams JR great lawyer to have on your side I’’ take probation anyday I don’t smoke or drink anyway,” the caption on his post read.



Lil Durk was arrested in June 2013 after police allegedly saw the Def Jam rapper pitching a stolen handgun in the backseat of a parked Hyundai Sonata in the Englewood neighborhood in South Side Chicago, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Durk was hit with a five-count indictment that included unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. He was ordered held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Durk’s most serious gun charge was dropped in November 2013.

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office dropped that charge citing a recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling that found parts of the state’s gun law unconstitutional, DNAinfo reports.

The state’s gun law that reportedly was struck down is the “Aggravated Unauthorized Use Of Weapons.” The Supreme Court found that it violates the Second Amendment because it makes it a criminal offense for people to bear arms outside of their home or business, according to DNAinfo.

Durk’s other three counts of possession of a gun by a felon were dropped. The charges Durk had to fight included one count of possessing a gun and a second count for being underage when in possession from a previous 2011 weapons case.

Durk made bail in July 2013 after spending more than four weeks in jail for the crime. His release made it possible for him to witness the birth of his daughter. The eldest child, a boy, is 2 years old.

Durk posted a photo of the hospital’s “Labor & Delivery Nursery Care” unit to his Instagram account with a caption that read, “She on the way as I type.”



The Coke Boy took to Twitter to proclaim his freedom following his release, writing, “I’m back bitch yea I’m back bitch did you miss me or u ain’t care bitch…..I’m free.



“Get caught with anotha slamma dey say my first offer 10….#nahhhhhhhhhhh.”
