Rapper From Florida Gets Sent To Prison For Posting A "KIll Me A Cop" Song On Myspace! [Audio Of The Song]
Bay9 reports "An aspiring rapper will serve two years in state prison after a song he posted on MySpace caught the attention of law enforcement.
Antavio Johnson pleaded no contest to two charges related to threatening a public servant. The charges stem from a song entitled "Kill Me A Cop" that he posted on MySpace under the pseudonym T.O.
In the song, Johnson makes specific references to fallen officers. The lyrics includes lines like "Call me crazy, but I think I fell in love with the sound of hearing the dispatcher say, 'Officer down.'"
Under Florida law, it's illegal to threaten harm against any public servant.
Johnson was arrested after a Polk County detective heard about the song. At the time of the arrest, he was already in the Polk County Jail for violating his probation on drug charges.
He was sentenced to two years in state prison, but he could have received up to a 15-year sentence.
In addition to his MySpace recordings, Johnson is also listed on the Holy Hip-Hop Database as a Christian rapper."
