Young Thug's Brother Arrested on Gun Charge After YSL Plea Deal.

Rapper Young Thug's brother, Quantavious Grier, has been arrested on a gun charge for possessing a firearm by a convicted felon and participating in illegal activity with a criminal street gang. Grier had previously taken a plea deal in the Young Slime Life criminal street gang case and accepted a 12-year sentence with two years commuted to time served and ten years probation. As part of his probation, Grier cannot have any contact with his brother Young Thug and other defendants until the case is over, perform 750 hours of community service, abide by a curfew, and cannot have a gun. It is unclear how Grier's recent arrest will affect the terms of his plea deal.
