Tekashi 6ix9ine takes plea deal in NYPD cop assault case, gets one year probation
6ix9ine was arrested earlier in May after allegedly squeezing a police officer's hand and refusing to let go
After being sentenced to four years of probation for the alleged “use of a child in a sexual performance” last month (a charge to which he pleaded guilty in 2015), Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez), was back in court this week for sentencing on a charge of assaulting a police officer.
As Pitchfork reports, according to the Brooklyn DA’s office, the rapper pled guilty to the charge of "disorderly conduct” and received a sentence of conditional discharge for the violation, which allegedly occurred in the borough’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood in May. Appearing in court on Wednesday, 6ix9ine entered a guilty plea in exchange for one-year probation.
