Mozzy Do Was Charged With A One-Year Sentence For Gun Possession

On July 28, Mozzy surrendered to authorities and was sentenced to one year in prison on a federal weapons allegation stemming from a traffic encounter in January 2021. The rapper said in a statement:

“Life comes at you quickly. Sometimes s**t happens and you have to accept the offer. It’s going to become nasty out here. I appreciate my family. Chest out, chin up. “I adore you the most.”

Mozzy, also known as Timothy Cornell Patterson, pled guilty to the gun charge in January 2022 and was refused probation by his counsel. Patterson is scheduled to be freed from jail on July 23, 2023.

Mozzy’s charges are clarified

Timothy’s latest sentence is the result of a federal weapons allegation stemming from a traffic stop in Culver City, California, in January of last year. Cops stopped Patterson and searched his car, discovering a Glock 26 pistol, 16 rounds of 9mm ammo, and some marijuana. Officers detained him on the spot, but he was subsequently freed on bond.

Patterson addressed a letter to a local court after his punishment, in which he stated:

“This case taught me that all I’ve done and created may be destroyed by a single error or lapse in judgment.” ‘A misstep may avoid a fall,’ I once read. This, I suppose, was my stumble,’ which saved me from falling. I suppose I needed something like this to give my life a bit more order.”
