Beanie Sigel Pleads Guilty
Beanie Sigel is likely off to the big house.
Acknowledging a judge's warning that he would probably spend three years in the slammer, the Philadelphia rapper pleaded guilty Thursday to federal guns and drug charges.
Nattily dressed in a gray pin-striped suit, Sigel stood before a dozen friends and family members and entered his guilty plea. He offered terse, one-word answers to U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick's questions as to whether he understood the rights he was waiving.
His supporters embraced and congratulated him as he left the courtroom without emotion.
The judge rejected a motion by Assistant U.S. Attorney Curtis R. Douglas to have Sigel taken directly into custody, and set sentencing for July 8.
Douglas argued that Sigel had violated the terms of his pretrial release by testing positive for the prescription narcotic OxyContin. However, Surrick pointed to Sigel's otherwise well-behaved stint since his release on house arrest last September and accepted the recommendation of federal pretrial service officials that Sigel remain free on $1 million bail.
Surrick also gave Sigel permission to take a break from house arrest to head to New York and finish recording an album due out this summer, as well as shooting the sequel to his film, State Property.
The charges that Sigel pleaded guilty to stemmed from an April 2002 traffic stop, during which the rapper allegedly fled his 2002 Cadillac Escalade and a loaded gun while trying to elude police.
When officers searched the car, they found a cornucopia of drugs, including marijuana, codeine and OxyContin.
Though Sigel has copped to those charges, his court docket remains full.
Jury selection begins Monday in Sigel's trial on charges that he shot and injured a man outside a bar last July following an argument over a woman.
Sigel also awaits trial on charges that he allegedly beat a man in January 2003 and fractured his eye socket.
A member of Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella stable, Sigel first made a mark for himself as a guest rapper on Jay-Z's Vol. 2...Hard Knock Life. He subsequently scored two consecutive solo gold albums, 1999's The Truth!!!, and 2001's The Reason.
