Beanie Sentenced To One Day In Jail

Beans got busted for parole violations after it was reported that he was in Atlantic City ballin'. On December 3rd the Philadelphia Daily News' gossip blog at Philly.com posted, "South Philly rapper Beanie Sigel was laying major money on a craps table at Atlantic City's Tropicana over the weekend. At one point, Sigel, whose new album "The Solution" is out Dec. 11, called over a fly honey for good luck, telling her he was down, but had $12,000 left to play with. She advised he keep it real and lay down another grand. No word on whether big Beanie won back his $$$." Federal authorities said they learned of Beans' visit to the Tropicana from the online report. Beans got hauled into court and U.S. District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick ordered him to spend the rest of the day locked up. Beanie Sigel, real name Dwight Grant, is in trouble because Atlantic City is outside the area in which he can travel under the terms of his parole violation. He was also sentenced to 6 months in a halfway house, where he will be allowed to leave each day for work. Don't tell nobody that picture is from the 40/40 Club Las Vegas grand opening New Years Eve
