Sacramento rapper Mozzy (real name Timothy Patterson) turned himself over to police on Thursday (July 28) to begin serving his 1-year sentence for a federal gun charge.
The sentence is linked to charges that stemmed from a traffic stop in January of 2021 in Culver City, California. Police say that after Mozzy was pulled over for a traffic violation, they smelled marijuana in his vehicle, which was promptly searched. Inside, police found a Glock 26, 16 rounds of 9mm ammunition, and marijuana.
“We can confirm Timothy Cornell Patterson entered Bureau of Prisons’ custody at the United States Penitentiary (USP) Atwater on July 28, 2022,” Randilee Giamusso said. “He has a projected release date of July 23, 2023.”
Mozzy is just a week out from releasing his seventh studio album “Survivor’s Guilt.” Released via Yo Gotti’s CMG, the 15-track project featured guest verses from Roddy Ricch and Shordie Shordie, as well as fellow CMG labelmates EST Gee, Blac Youngsta and Moneybagg Yo.
