Gucci Mane is back in a familiar place. After three months of freedom, the Atlanta hip-hop star has returned to jail.

The 31-year-old rapper’s attorney Ashutosh Joshi told MTV News that Gucci will serve six months behind bars after pleading guilty to two counts of battery, two counts of reckless conduct, and one count of disorderly conduct for pushing a woman out of his vehicle in January.

“I am pleased that justice was achieved for the victim because this defendant’s behavior showed a willful disregard for a woman’s personal safety,” DeKalb Solicitor-General Sherry Boston said in a statement.

The Brick Squad MC’s last jail stint was in April when he was sentenced for several probation violations, stemming from a 2005 aggravated assault case. He is currently serving time at Georgia’s DeKalb County Jail. “It’s a case that we knew about, that we expected would come about at some point,” Joshi said.

His sentence also carries three years of probation, which he will serve upon his release. In addition, he was ordered to complete 12 weeks of anger management classes, pay $5,091 to cover the victim’s medical bills, plus a $3,000 fine.
