Rapper T.I. Talks Atlanta Man Down From Rooftop

Rapper T.I. aided police on Wednesday afternoon in taking a man down off a roof in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, talked to the man about how a person "can make it through anything", according to a spokesman for Atlanta Police.

Police were reportedly trying to convince the man, who witnesses say appeared to be about 25, not to jump from the 22-story Colony Square Hotel when Harris appeared out of nowhere. Harris offered his assistance and the police accepted.

The man, who police declined to identify, agreed to leave the rooftop and talk with T.I. After speaking with Harris for several minutes, the man was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for a psychological evaluation. The man was not charged with a crime, police said.

Harris will face his own life crisis later this week when he appears in a federal court where he could have his probation for a weapons charge revoked. Harris was sentenced in 2008 on charges ofunlawfully possession of a firearm by a felon. The revokation hearing came about when he and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle were arrested last month on drug charges during a traffic stop in West Hollywood, California.
