[edit] Prison

A day after a warrant was issued for his arrest, D12 member Swift was sentenced April 20, 2006 to 93 days in jail for violating terms of his probation in a drunk driving case. According to authorities, Swift was found near his Novi, Michigan home and was escorted by police to the court where Judge Mackenzie, who issued the arrest warrant, sentenced him to 93 days in the Oakland County Jail, with 10 days credit for time he previously spent in jail for the same offense. Swift missed his court hearing to attend fellow group member Proof's funeral.[1]
