R. Kelly<\/span><\/p>\n Stopped Cook Co. Jail in its Tracks<\/span><\/p>\n \u2026 When He Got Visitors<\/span><\/p>\n 2\/26\/2019 8:57 AM PST<\/p>\n EXCLUSIVE<\/span><\/p>\n Sources tell TMZ that Cook County Jail became temporarily paralyzed twice between Saturday and Monday, while Kelly was incarcerated there after turning himself in<\/strong><\/a> Friday.<\/p>\n We\u2019re told the jail\u2019s guards were told twice \u2014 once on Saturday and again on Monday \u2014 to cease the other inmates\u2019 movements entirely while Kelly was being transported through the facility to meet visitors. Our sources say the visits lasted 15 minutes.<\/p>\n Think about that for a minute. Cook County jail houses roughly 6,100 inmates \u2026 and all of them had to sit tight whenever R. Kelly was on the move. We\u2019re told jail officials are ecstatic he\u2019s gone<\/strong><\/a>, \u2019cause it\u2019s a pain to do that for one inmate.<\/p>\n A Cook County Jail spokesperson made no bones about it \u2026 telling us Kelly\u2019s celebrity status is absolutely the reason for the temporary jail freeze. Officials didn\u2019t want the other inmates causing a fuss as the singer was taken from one division of the jail to another.\u00a0<\/p>\n No surprise then that our sources say Kelly was isolated from general pop while he was locked up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/h5>\n

R. Kelly<\/strong><\/a> still has the star power to bring things to a screeching halt, \u2019cause he did exactly that on at least a couple of occasions this weekend while behind bars.<\/p>\n
