Northbrook's Keith Cozart, 17, also known as the rapper Chief Keef, was arrested by Northfield police in May for speeding on the Edens. He was clocked traveling 110 mph in a 55 mph zone. 

Cozart pleaded guilty to the speeding charges on Monday, resulting in a $531 fine, 18 month probation, 60 hours of community service, eight hours of traffic school and random drug screenings, the Chicago Tribune reports. 

"You think you're invincible, and you're certainly not," Cook County Circuit Court Judge Earl Hoffenberg said, according to the Chicago Tribune. "Violate (conditions of the plea agreement) and you'll find out you're not. … I sure hope I don't see you again, because if I do, you better be ready to go to jail."
