D12's Swift Jailed Quickly

April 22, 2006

There apparently are no good excuses left for missing court dates. It's better not to have to go to court in the first place, though.

Rap artist Swift was sentenced to 93 days in jail for a probation violation after he missed a court hearing to attend fellow D12 member Proof's funeral Wednesday in Detroit. Swift served as an honorary pallbearer during the memorial service, which drew more than 2,000 people, including Eminem, 50 Cent and Obie Trice.

Swift, whose real name is Ondre Moore, was on probation after being arrested for drunk driving in October.
