As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Cottle and T.I. were pulled over in September in Los Angeles on a traffic stop when authorities smelled marijuana. Police also found pills in their car which was later determined to be ecstasy.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, turned himself into an Arkansas prison on Monday to begin serving his 11-month sentence for a probation violation stemming from the arrest.
