Chief
Keef was jailed earlier today after a judge found that he had violated
his probation stemming from a 2011 incident where he pulled a gun on
policemen.
According to Chicago Sun Times, the 17-year-old
rapper, whose real name is Keith Cozart, went to Cook County juvenile
court where Judge Carl Anthony Walker found him showing a "willful
disregard" for the court. He will be held until Thursday when he will be
sentenced.
The incarceration marks a victory for prosecutors who
said that he violated his 18-month probation after conducting an
interview at a gun range in New York last June. The incident went
against judge's orders that he cannot have contact with firearms.
Keef most recently released his debut album Finally Rich, which debuted at No. 27 with 50,000 copies sold.
