Keyshia Cole’s past has come back to haunt her after she got off from unleashing her fury on a Cash Money employee in September.

Following the brutal beatdown she put on Sabrina Mercadel (who is now suing), the cops working the case found that the R&B star had failed to complete an alcohol education course that would fulfilled her sentencing. All this happened at the top of last decade, by the way.

Via TMZ:

Keyshia Cole faces jail time over a DUI she got a decade ago … and no one would have been the wiser had she not flown into a jealous rage in Birdman’s condo.

Cole was in a L.A. County court this week … trying to explain to a judge that a very old arrest warrant was a gigantic mistake. The warrant was issued in 2004, because Keyshia failed to submit proof to the judge that she completed her alcohol ed class after a 2002 DUI conviction.

Keyshia’s lawyer tried explaining the singer completed the course, but the judge was unmoved. There was no paperwork to prove it, so the judge indicated he’d throw her in jail for 30 days.

But the judge also showed some mercy, telling Keyshia’s lawyer he would let her skate if they could submit proof she finished the classes. A hearing is set for February.

Now here’s the bitch. Authorities had no idea there was a warrant and probably wouldn’t know, but when Keyshia was arrested in September for assaulting a woman in Birdman’s condo, cops did a warrant check and … bingo.

Boyfriends cause such trouble.

From the looks at Keyshia’s Twitter timeline, she’s not tripping and is ready to prove orange is the new black.
