KEY POINTS:
ATLANTA - Rapper T.I. says evidence collected against him and statements he made to authorities in a federal weapons case were illegally obtained.
Attorneys for the 27-year-old, whose real name is Clifford Harris, filed motions Monday in US District Court seeking to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle and statements he made on the day of his Oct. 13 arrest.
The attorneys allege the vehicle was searched without a warrant, consent or probable cause.
They also allege that Harris' detention might not have been proper, statements he made to authorities may not have been voluntary, and agents may have failed to honor his rights.
The motions didn't elaborate on the basis for the legal challenges, but said more details would be filed later.
