A controversial legal move by the Fulton County District Attorney has drawn widespread criticism after attempting to revoke Jeffery Williams’ probation—better known to fans as Young Thug—based solely on deleted…
According to CBS46, the arrested are a part of Drug Rich Gang, a unit that is composed of members of Blood, Crips, and Gangster Disciples. The members are alleged to be responsible for 16 different violent incidents at the homes of celebrities and non-celebrities in Union City, Atlanta, and Sandy Springs.
The celebrities targeted in the ring include Mariah Carey, Falcon’s wide receiver Calvin Ridley, and Marlo Hampton of Real Housewives of Atlanta. Carey’s home was broken into earlier this month.
“What they did do was target people who show their wealth on social media,” the District Attorney said. “This indictment also covers individuals who were not as famous, but also had their wealth on social media.”
Crimes associated with the home invasions included kidnapping, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and more.
“As we know crime and criminals have no boundaries and they found their way into my country — Fulton County. I have a message today: If you thought Fulton was a good county to bring your crime to, to bring your violence to, you are wrong and you are going to suffer the consequences.”
According to several confirmed reports, Young Thug, Gunna and 28 other YSL members were named in a 56-count indictment, facing charges of murder, armed robbery and RICO(Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations). As a result of the indictment out of Fulton County, Young Thug was arrested and taken into custody.
The indictment, which was obtained by WSB-TV’s Michael Seiden, says that Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, was accused of renting a 2014 Infiniti Q50 sedan from Hertz, which was used in the murder of Donovan Thomas Jr. in January 2015. Prosecutors have also alleged that two YSL associates, Christin Bellinger and Antonio Sumlin, tried to get Young Thug’s permission to make a second murder attempt on TFN Lucci’s life while behind bars in the Fulton County Jail.
Thugger and Gunna were both taken into custody and being held at the Fulton County Jail and charged with charged with conspiracy to violate the RICO act and participation in criminal street gang activity.
