Lawyers for Beanie Sigel have submitted a proposal seeking to enter the rapper into a drug and psychological counseling center. The request came after U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick rejected a $1 million dollar bail package that would have freed Sigel until his trial for attempted murder. Surrick gave the attorney’s until tomorrow to submit an adequate formal treatment proposal to keep the rapper from behind bars. Sigel has been in Federal custody for a month. He faces Federal weapon and drug charges stemming from an April incident, when he allegedly tossed a loaded handgun during a foot chase with police. He was also charged with attempted murder in July, after he allegedly shot a man in the stomach and foot outside of a Philadelphia bar. Sigel denies the charges, saying that he was present before the incident took place.
