Tekashi 6ix9ine Arrested for Violating Probation Terms After Late Court Appearance

Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, is in trouble once again after being arrested for violating the terms of his probation. His lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, revealed that Tekashi was informed two weeks ago about these violations and was required to appear before a federal judge in New York. However, he showed up an hour late, prompting the judge to send U.S. Marshals to locate him. Fortunately, Tekashi arrived voluntarily.

According to Lazzaro, there are three main violations cited by the government. First, Tekashi performed in Las Vegas without permission from his probation department. Second, he failed a drug test, testing positive for methamphetamine. Lazzaro noted that this could be a false positive, as Tekashi takes Adderall. Lastly, he did not take a required drug test on another occasion.

Tekashi’s legal troubles date back to his 2020 plea deal, which involved serious charges like racketeering and narcotics trafficking. He managed to avoid a lengthy 47-year prison sentence by cooperating with authorities and providing information on other defendants. Since his release from home confinement in 2020, he has been on a strict five-year supervised release, including regular check-ins with his probation officer.

Despite his legal issues, just three weeks ago, Tekashi claimed he was not worried about a clause in his new record deal that required him to stay out of trouble. He described himself as a "squeaky clean" individual and suggested that trouble always finds him. Tekashi is set to be arraigned later today at a federal courthouse in New York.
