Rapper Chief Keef ( that's right ladies and gentlemen, Chief Keef) has been arrested in Chicago on trespassing charges. His arrest occurred shortly after a Skokie court appearance where the rapper was given probation for driving 110 mph in a 55 mph zone. Chief's defense was that he confused the kilometer/miles per hour markings on the car's speedometer. After an hour of court recess the judge returned from his chambers and told Mr. Keef that while his explanation seemed highly plausible, ignorance of the law was no excuse and handed down a sentence of 6 months probation to the 17 year old.Earlier in the month the cop-magnet rapper felt the cuffs for smoking a joint.
Shortly following the announcement of Keef's 3rd arrest in a month came news that Keef may be on his way to making history. According to John D. Buff, noted Chicago historian the only person ever arrested more than 3 times in 1 month in Chicago was the infamous gangster Al Capone. According to Buff, Capone was arrested 4 times in the month of April, 1924 for urinating in the street, littering, selling apples without a permit and for sticking a screw driver so violently through a man's eye that it exited the back of his head. Unlike Keef, all 4 charges against Capone were dismissed.
