50 Cent Avoids Jail Time in Plea Deal
Fri May 13, 1:55 PM ET
The rapper 50 Cent struck a deal with prosecutors on Friday that will help him avoid jail time for allegedly trampling two women and punching a third during a concert last year.
If the entertainer, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, stays drug free for two years and follows other orders laid out by a judge, the charges will be dropped.
Jackson, 29, who lives in Farmington, Conn., entered a plea Friday in Springfield District Court to facts sufficient for a guilty finding. He had been charged with three counts of assault and battery.
Jackson left the courthouse through a back door without commenting to reporters.
The incident occurred during a surprise concert at Springfield's Hippodrome club last May, in which Jackson allegedly jumped into a crowd after someone threw or squirted water at him. Three women were injured.
After an investigation and a hearing last fall, a clerk magistrate decided there was probable cause for the charges.
Judge Robert Kumor told the rapper on Friday that he has a responsibility to be a positive role model for his 9-year-old son and his fans.
"You're a cross-cultural entertainer," the judge said. "You have an obligation to people in society."
