YoungBoy: From Rapper to Arrested
Rapper YoungBoy, also known as NBA YoungBoy, has been arrested in Utah as a suspect in a large-scale prescription fraud ring. The FBI has identified him as the leader of the NBA street gang and his associates as a gang due to their structure, affiliation, and violent behavior. YoungBoy's multimillion-dollar mansion in Weber County was searched, and police found evidence related to fraudulent prescriptions and a gun. He has been booked for investigation of a pattern of unlawful activity, including drug procurement, identity fraud, forgery, possession of controlled substances, and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person. YoungBoy has been on house arrest since October 2021, awaiting trial for a federal firearms charge, and his trial for the federal charge is scheduled to begin on July 15.
