Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (UPI) -- Rapper Busta Rhymes may take six months of anger management and work with youth rather than jail time for two separate assault incidents, authorities said.
Rhymes, 34, is said to be considering Civil Court Judge Tanya Kennedy's offer that would keep him out of jail, the New York Daily News said Wednesday.
The rapper, Kennedy said, "will speak to the youth regarding the perils of violence."
"The court made us an offer and we will consider it," said Scott Leemon, an attorney for the Brooklyn rapper born Trevor Smith.
Assistant District Attorney Harrison Schweiloch offered a six-month jail term and orders of protection for both alleged victims. Kennedy countered with a deal of three years' probation, six months of anger-management sessions, five days of community service and two weeks of anti-violence lectures before children.
In August, Rhymes was arrested for assaulting a 19-year-old man for allegedly spitting on a car belonging a member of the rapper's entourage. Last month, he was arrested for allegedly hitting his former driver, who has said he was trying to collect pay.
Rhymes faces separate assault charges for the two incidents.
