Chief Keef does it again. Get arrested, that is

In two months Chief Keef (Keith Cozart) will turn 18 and it seems like he’s getting all his future arrests out of the way early with reports that he’s been arrested again. If you’re keeping count, that’s three arrests in just over a month. This one might be the funniest.

After pleading guilty to speeding (that’s what got him booked in May), the Chicago Tribute says Keef was arrested on an old trespassing complaint. To make matters worse, all of this happened hours after he got served on his second paternity suit in the last year.

His management thinks this might be harassment, with Keef’s lawyer adding that she knows he’s “on the police radar.”

In fairness, he’s been getting booked for relatively trivial shit these days; his speeding ticket was exacerbated because he had too many people in the car, and the other arrest was for smoking pot in a hotel room. But the fact remains that if you’re going to keep breaking the law, you’re going to keep getting noticed for it.

At 17, Chief Keef’s got a laundry list of offences that’d make Gucci Mane blush. Let’s just read these off Wikipedia to give you a sense of what we mean:

– Heroin charges. Manufacture and distribution. He was 16.
– Still 16, he was caught with a gun by police and it at them. Then he ran and resisted arrest. The gun was loaded. That’s possession, aggravated assault and unlawful use of a weapon.
– 9 months later, he’s implicated in the murder of rapper Lil JoJo. Nothing came of this, though.
– He breaks his parole when he’s seen shooting a gun in a Pitchfork.

Fast-forward to this year and there’s the pot (and disorderly conduct) and speeding. And now this, for trespassing. We don’t know the story there, but at what point does that even matter anymore? The kid’s lost all benefit of a doubt. He was put on house arrest twice before his 17th birthday and has broken his parole a number of times.

Whether he’s being targeted by police or not (unlikely, since his arrests have happened in different states and, let’s face it, dude isn’t that famous), the fact remains that Chief Keef is essentially laughing at the legal system with his constant disregard for it. He’s seventeen. Hopefully when he’s 18 (August 15th) he’ll smarted up. Or get locked up. Either way, it’s getting pretty old having to write on the dude’s legal issues.

Wait, can we call someone born in 1995 a dude? Let’s stick with kid until he proves us otherwise.
