The following incident narrative is primarily sourced from the police report. There are some areas where the reported narrative diverges from what appears to take place in the recording:
On Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at approximately 0443 hours, Henry County Police Department officers were dispatched to the Eagles Landing Country Club located at 100 Eagles Landing Way in McDonough, Georgia, in reference to a male subject later identified as Clifford Harris (“T.I.”) yelling at the security guard because he would not let him in the gate. Dispatch advised responding officers that they could hear Mr. Harris yelling through the phone.
On arrival officers met with Mr. Harris and with his friend, Marquinarius Holmes. When asked what was the problem, Mr. Harris stated that when he pulled up to the guard shack, he observed the guard - Euwan James - sleeping. When Mr. Harris woke him, he asked to be let into the gate, but the guard refused to let him in. Mr. Harris stated that James finally opened the gate to let him in, but added that he had asked the security guard for his name multiple times and asked for his supervisor but that the guard refused to provide that information to him. Mr. Harris then drove home - a bit over a half mile - only to walk back for another attempt at getting the guard’s name. No dice the second time around, either.
When that same officer spoke with the guard (who is referred to in the report as “Officer James”), James is reported by the officer as having provided the following information:
When Harris pulled up James asked Harris for his name and where was he going. Harris replied, "Harris, hook me up!”* James did not recognize Harris and did not let him in the gate. In response, stated James, Harris started to use profanity, yelling at him to open the gate. James then opened the gate and let him inside the neighborhood. James further stated that Harris subsequently walked back to the gate and was threatening him, and added that Mr. Holmes had arrived after Mr. Harris.
When asked for specifics of the kind of threats Harris had made, James is reported as having stated that Harris asked him to “come outside so they can deal with it,” however James wrote on his statement that Harris stated "come outside so we can deal with this man to man,” and "Let go in the street.” (It's not clear that Harris said any either of those two sentences.) James stated he felt threatened by Harris because he told him that he would come back and he did. James added that he did not know what Harris was going to do. James' supervisor Andrea Stone advised she witnessed Harris yelling at James.
*The recording seems to clearly indicate that he said, "Harris, look me up," — and not "Harris, hook me up."

No body give a shit about 'rappers behaving badly'. What are you, TMZ?
-
For someone sleeping on the job this guy has some attitude.
-
TI was actually some what patient, that bum ass guard was just salty he got caught lackin.
-
The fact that Tiny even told him to open the gate and he still didnt want to is crazy😂🤦🏽♀️
-
"I'm talking to the worker at the gate of the property that I pay the mortgage to" I felt that so much
-
Celebrity aside, Dude has a point when he said " I'm talking to the worker at the property that I am paying a mortgage to"
-
The guard like “I’m tired of working, imma get one of these rich residents to hit me so I can retire”.
-
“You shleep you waking up and tryna exert some authority, HIT DA BUTTON” and “ LET ME IN” are hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
-
Legend has it TI still screaming "Hit The Button Nigga". 😂😂😂
-
I like how T never played the you know who I am card
-
When you hate your job and someone pulled up in a $400k car...
-
You can tell he did this one purpose. He said his name several times and I do believe he knew who he was. He wanted him to become aggressive and do something to have a story.
-
You can tell TI has been working on himself the way he says, “One day, you’re gonna come back in front of me, and ask me to forgive you, and I’m probably gonna do it.” Lol the most zen-gangster response
-
The security guard was fired and the charges against TI were dropped.
-
TI wasn’t wrong man. That dude got caught slipping and went on an ego trip.
-
Imagine not letting someone go home because they caught you sleeping on job and you get embarrassed and go on a whole ego trip for like 5 minutes AND THEN CALL THE COPS
-
“Do yo job nigga and hit that button! F wrong with you” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can’t 😂😂😂😂😂
-
I would be pissed too. If this man refused to let me into MY OWN home, I WOULD BE PISSED! Where else can I go if I can’t get home? The ego of this guard is out of pocket!
-
Hes got a good ass reason to be mad. Basically someone is locking him out of his own house which he pays millions to own
-
T.I was actually a lot more composed than most people would be given the circumstances
