This video – exclusively on Real World Police – is the final installment in a series of four videos covering this unusual incident. Taken together, the videos paint a comprehensive picture of the events leading up to and including the arrest of Grammy Award winning rapper T.I. on May 16, 2018 at the entrance to his gated community in McDonough, Georgia.
The first two videos used surveillance system video footage to tell the story; the third and [this] fourth utilize police body-worn camera footage.
The body-worn camera footage in this installment comes from the officer directly responsible for T.I.’s arrest. More info to come on that.

The following incident narrative is primarily sourced from the police report. There are some areas where the reported narrative diverges from what appears to take place in the recording:
On Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at approximately 0443 hours, Henry County Police Department officers were dispatched to the Eagles Landing Country Club located at 100 Eagles Landing Way in McDonough, Georgia, in reference to a male subject later identified as Clifford Harris (“T.I.â€) yelling at the security guard because he would not let him in the gate. Dispatch advised responding officers that they could hear Mr. Harris yelling through the phone.
On arrival officers met with Mr. Harris and with his friend, Marquinarius Holmes. When asked what was the problem, Mr. Harris stated that when he pulled up to the guard shack, he observed the guard – Euwan James – sleeping. When Mr. Harris woke him, he asked to be let into the gate, but the guard refused to let him in. Mr. Harris stated that James finally opened the gate to let him in, but added that he had asked the security guard for his name multiple times and asked for his supervisor but that the guard refused to provide that information to him. Mr. Harris then drove home – a bit over a half mile – only to walk back for another attempt at getting the guard’s name. No dice the second time around, either.
When that same officer spoke with the guard (who is referred to in the report as “Officer Jamesâ€), James is *reported by the officer* as having provided the following information:
When Harris pulled up James asked Harris for his name and where was he going. Harris replied, “Harris, hook me up!â€* James did not recognize Harris and did not let him in the gate. In response, stated James, Harris started to use profanity, yelling at him to open the gate. James then opened the gate and let him inside the neighborhood. James further stated that Harris subsequently walked back to the gate and was threatening him, and added that Mr. Holmes had arrived after Mr. Harris.
When asked for specifics of the kind of threats Harris had made, James is reported as having stated that Harris asked him to “come outside so they can deal with it,†however James wrote on his statement that Harris stated “come outside so we can deal with this man to man,†and “Let go in the street.†(It’s not clear that Harris said any either of those two sentences.) James stated he felt threatened by Harris because he told him that he would come back and he did. James added that he did not know what Harris was going to do. James’ supervisor Andrea Stone advised she witnessed Harris yelling at James.
*The recording seems to clearly indicate that he said, “Harris, look me up,” — and not “Harris, hook me up.”

wasn't the cop supposed to give him a drunken test if he was supposedly drunk? but he didn't, isn't something wrong here?
This are trash cops nothing less, fire both of them 👎👎
that lady didn't help at all, she's lying too, she should be fired as well.
i HEARD ABOUT THIS STORY T.I GOT OUT AND HIRED SOME PEOPLE AND THEY FOLLOWED THAT COP HOME AND THEY GOT HIS WIFE'S ADDRESS, HIS KIDS SCHOOL ADDRESS AND ITS ALL BAD, TOO BAD FOR THAT GUY
Notice how they didn’t mute their cameras..
Damn the cop went hard on Tip. This was some straight bull!!
Lol, "keep your cash so you can put it on your books" says TI. Cause God knows he ain't gonna put his money on your books. Even though his narcissism is the reason he's going to jail. POS
Wow this cop is a little salty and sketchy
TI goes and calls one of his goons and the goon has warrants for larceny lmao. He should of stayed his ass home instead of thinking he's in the American gangster film.
What those cops make in their lifetime career TI makes in 1 film. Those cops couldn't afford to live in a dog house in that property TI owns. Envy, jealousy, hatred.
So did they get a warrant or a consent to search his vehicle?? Smfh
The real question is Why is TI driving a Nissan ?
I hate seeing police like this 🤦â€â™‚ï¸
fool told his address should have muted that
This is what happens when keeping it real goes wrong!
Sounds like police were doing their job.
"Disorderly Conduct" is against the constitution of the united States and a pure infringement of our basic rights, it needs to be abolished immediately
Crooked cops.
Basically he got arrested for saying "I paid my salary" and getting in the woman's face.
I don't like officer Gibbs.
i didn't know saying you will have to deal with me as a man and look me in my eyes and I will probably forgive you. was a treat! LOL
Supervisor needs to be sacked, cops need to be sacked and security guard needs a new job away from public. Police officer is biased towards him straight away on finding out he's a rapper.
Me and the reaper on a first name bases
I’m white. That’s one bad cop
All TI had to do is call 911
And tell the police the gate guard won’t let him in
1. He didn't Mirandize him
2. He didn't get a breathalizer test
Time to sue
I gotta say that was clever as all hell when the cop said "for your comfort" regarding the cuffs and dude says "well, thank you sir and I appreciate the fact you think that I can be comfortable in handcuffs!" If I were locking him up, something only a person who has never burrowed deep off in some bomb poon and definitely has never made a chick nut the same time as I can and on command everytime I please because I'm not now and never would be a person in need of a costume and a perceived power over another individual because I'm a secure, independent man who has integrity and doesnt lie unless to a cop because they get no respect from me and because I dont like individuals who are snakes and kiss ass to "the brass" and blow my "partner" or even have "a partner" because I dont need one even in areas where pigs pull triggers on the shadows because why? Easy… They are pussies but I digress. I'd love to pull over This guy. He was chill AF
â—â—â— Arrested for "public drunk" in what I assume is a private country club?
That probably won't work.
â—â—â— In other words, I'm so "rich and important" that I'm not smart enough to go home and deal with the security COMPANY during the day.
People also pay $3 million to live there and not have this kind of "4:30 in the morning, the club is closed and we still want to make noise" nonsense.
Incompetent Cops. Again. Sue ‘em ðŸ‘
That cop just went on there side filthy pig didn’t even do his job right at all damn
You have to do a real test to be charged for drinking not a officer assumption
He is on private property that's why the security guard is there so hes not In public lol so drunk in public will never stick.
they bringing up dui when he have no car
Public drunk, on private property with no field sobriety test
Anyone else catch the slide of hand while cop was searching dudes car.. fucking scumbag power abusive cops.. i wouldnt let these guys be cross walk gaurds
4:32 unprofessional. I'm not saying TI handled the situation well but TI is also not on duty to serve the public with an unbiased judgment.
8:50 "you know who dumbass is?" cop should be fired if he is against people for no reason…
4:30 just look at how the cop insults him just because of the career of T.I. and they all siding against him….theyre fuckin assholes.
Good take him away He got money that doesn’t mean you are above the law that doesn’t mean you treat everybody shit you respect people they would respect you back stupid
Can you terrorize someone like that and not expect some sort of course of action to be taken??? Anyone gets talked to like that even if they are wrong or right. He could have calmly resolved the issue. Called his supervisor the next day and he him fired, but he wanted to press the guy with his ego, if that guy was stronger and more threatening would TI have gotten down with him like that? Like be honest how many you letting TI talk to you like that even though regardless of the circumstances how many of you just putting your head down and taken that?
The cop tried to get TI to resist so bad when he just grabbed him from the back without him seeing and saying gimme ur hands. He was hoping so bad he would resist smh
Something doesn’t add up with that sleeping security guard. Seems like he was out for a revenge to T.I. There is no way he would not grant entry to own house especially when his wife confirmed that T.I. lives there… was is it a grudge that security guard had against T.I. from the past? Seems kinda odd..
At the same time , it shows the guard was making sure that he was through… it is a 2 ways street point of view here
