Chad Ochocinco will be released from jail today. Get the deets on his release inside and find out why rapper Chief Keef was locked up again.
In sports news, ex-NFL football star Chad Johnson is being released from jail today, TMZ revealed. You'll recall that Chad slapped his lawyer's backside last week, and was given a 30-day sentence.
Earlier today, Chad apologized to Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh (who extended his probation by one month and let him out of jail). According to the Associated Press, Chad told the judge,
"I just wanted to apologize for disrespecting the court last time. I apologize. I did have time to reflect on the mistakes I made in this courtroom."
We're sure after a week behind bars, we'll see a more subdued version of Chad Ochocinco.

And in other arrests....
Rapper Chief Keef is in jail today.....but it's not because of the speeding ticket that originally brought him to court.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the rapper was busted for a misdemeanor trespassing charge, moments AFTER he pled guilty to speeding. Although details about the "new" arrest haven't been revealed, a Chicago police department rep offered “He’s still being processed. I haven’t seen the paperwork.”
As far as today's "speeding" hearing went, the 17-year-old rapper was fined $531, put on probation for 18 months, ordered to perform 60 hours community service, and will undergo random drug testing. He must also complete eight hours of traffic school.
SMH.....we guess he won't be blazing up in any more online videos.
