BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Baton
Rouge rapper known as “Lil Boosie” has been sentenced to eight years in prison
following his guilty plea to drug charges.
The 29-year-old rapper’s real name
is Torrence Hatch. He pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring to smuggle codeine,
marijuana and ecstasy into two state prisons. They were the Louisiana State
Penitentiary at Angola and Dixon Correctional Institute in Jackson, La.
Assistant District Attorney Dana
Cummings says Hatch was serving a prison term for a separate conviction for
marijuana possession when he smuggled the drugs with help from a prison guard.
State District Judge Mike Erwin in
Baton Rouge sentenced him to the new prison term.
Hatch also faces a first-degree
murder charge in the 2009 death of Terry Boyd. The trial is scheduled to start
April 30.
