Rapper Kevin Gates Heading to Jail for Kicking Fan

​
Rapper Kevin Gates was sentenced to six months in jail on Wednesday for kicking a fan at a concert last year after a trial that only lasted one day. He will serving out his sentence at Polk County Jail according to recent reports.

The 18-year old woman that was kicked, Miranda Brown, admitted to grabbing at Gates’ feet before she was kicked, but still affirmed the rapper overreacted.

Body guards present testified that there were several people there to keep control of the crowd; several people were grabbing at his legs; and Gates had room to move back if he didn’t want to be touched.

Gates’ defense attorney was hoping for only 60 days in jail for Gates, but the judge handed down a sentence of 180.
