As part of being monitored, Petty might have to be fitted with an electronic GPS ankle bracelet, although that hasn’t been determined yet.
The recorded videos were posted to social media on Sept. 16, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The clips, which have been reposted online, were filled with expletives.
Petty and two other men are seen standing on a sidewalk in New York City, repeatedly referencing Offset. At one point, Petty says, “You plan that vacation, you’ll be planning your funeral.”
Over the years, Petty has been convicted of attempted rape and attempted murder and has served two stints in prison. In 2022, he was sentenced to 3 years probation after he failed to register as a sex offender in California.
