Tekashi 6ix9ine Put on Home Detention With Electronic Monitoring Ahead of Nov. 4 Sentencing

A November 4 hearing will determine whether repeated supervised-release violations send him back to prison.

Overview

  • He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery specification tied to an Aug. 8 West Palm Beach mall altercation and admitted he and another person kicked and punched a man without legal justification, according to the court and an SDNY spokesperson.
  • U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer rejected prosecutors’ request to jail him immediately and ordered home detention with electronic monitoring pending sentencing.
  • The court directed that monitoring be fitted within 24 hours of his return to Florida, with limited exceptions for medical care, treatment, religious services, attorney meetings, and court obligations.
  • In July he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug possession after Miami police found cocaine and ecstasy during a March search of his home, with firearm and fentanyl counts dropped for lack of DNA evidence.
  • The mall incident followed taunts over his 2019 cooperation against Nine Trey members, and it adds to a record of supervised-release violations that included short jail time and prior home restrictions last year.
