The Louisiana case predates the California case. NBA YoungBoy was arrested on Sept. 28, 2020, in his hometown of Baton Rouge along with 15 other people at a video shoot. Law enforcement was dispatched to the scene after getting reports that a large group of people was brandishing weapons outside an abandoned home. Police confiscated 14 guns, marijuana, Hydrocodone, digital scales, and Xanax. YB was only initially charged with possession of schedule 1 drugs and released on bail.
The Top rapper’s attorney, James Manasseh, told trendynewsreporters in a statement at the time, “It is important to remember that when someone is arrested for a crime it does not mean they are guilty of anything. Kentrell Gaulden is innocent of the crimes he was arrested for yesterday evening. He did not possess any firearms nor did he possess any controlled dangerous substances.”
However, on March 10, 2021, NBA YoungBoy was indicted in U.S. District Court for possession of firearms by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm not registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.
Back in March, NBA YoungBoy got a partial victory in the Louisiana case when a judge threw out video and photo evidence that the prosecution planned on using. According to court documents obtained by trendynewsreporters today, the case is in continuance as both sides build their arguments. The next conference concerning the case is scheduled for Aug. 2, 2022.
