Tampa Tony gets life in prison for drugs
Bradenton's Antonio Alls, a.k.a. rapper Tampa Tony, has been sentenced to life in prison for drug possession, TampaBays10.com reports. You may remember Tampa Tony as the inventor of Da Splitter, a device that splits blunts open for easy nickel insertion.
The 33-year-old rapper was sentenced Wednesday by a federal judge for his conviction on charges of possession and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
Alls was busted in Pasco County on October 2006 with not 5 but 24 kilos of coke. He was convicted last November.

Gotta love this society sometimes...break the law, whine about how unfair it is, point fingers while taking no responsibility whatsoever for your own actions and then become a martyr.
Don't drop the soap, TT!

this is a shame. another life lost because of unfair justice. enough is enough. u have school teachers sexually abusing children, crooked cops doing just the same as the said rapper and nothing happens to them because of who they know or how much money the have. life for some cocaine. this judge has got to be high on his power because death is no sentence for a drug dealer.

I agree, the sentence does not fit the crime. He should just be killed to save room in the jail. Since it is a life sentence, just get the inevitable over with.

Tampa Tony, just killed himself. It's crazy to give a person life for non violent drug charges. It's just not right!
