Popular Atlanta rapper Young Thug arrested on RICO, gang-related charges

by Leave a Comment

The Atlanta-based rapper Young Thug was one of nearly 30 people indicted Monday in Georgia on conspiracy to violate the state’s RICO act and charges stemming from street gang activity.

Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams, was arrested at his home in Buckhead, a suburb just north of Atlanta, Georgia. The Associated Press reported that he is currently being held at the Fulton County Jail.

The charges of conspiracy date back to 2013, and the gang-related charges date back to 2018, according to jail records.

According to the indictment, Young Thug is allegedly one of three founders of the organization called Young Slime Life, “a criminal street gang that started in 2012” in Atlanta. Young Slime Life is affiliated with the national Bloods gang.

Court documents state that the Young Slime Life criminal organization started as a street gang in the Cleveland Avenue area of Atlanta in 2012.

The gang-related charges include “preserving, protecting and enhancing reputation, power and territory of enterprise through acts of racketeering activity including murder, assault and threats of violence.”

Fox 5 Atlanta reported that the indictment lists more than 180 acts that support just the first of the 56 separate charges filed against members of Young Slime Life. Currently, Young Thug is only charged with two counts.

However, Young Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, told local media outlets that “Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever” and that he intends to “fight till his last drop of blood to clear him.”

Young Thug’s first court appearance will be on Tuesday at 11:30 a.m.

Indicted along with Young Thug on Monday were Atlanta-based rapper Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, and an aspiring rapper, Christian Eppinger. Eppinger was already in jail, accused of shooting an Atlanta Police officer six times in February.

It was not immediately known at the time the indictment was issued whether Gunna, who has been accused of conspiracy to violate the state’s RICO act, has been arrested.

In April 2021, Young Thug and Gunna posted bail payments for 30 low-level inmates who were unable to afford the payments themselves.

Young Thug’s record label has been called YSL Records or Young Stoner Life Records. The label refers to its artists as part of the “Slime Family,” and a compilation album of the artists called “Slime Language 2” charted at the top spot on the charts in April 2021.

A Georgia homeowner fatally shot a naked man who tackled his 67-year-old wife off a riding lawnmower and then began attacking both of them, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, told WSB-TV.

What are the details?

Deputies who responded to reports of an assault found a 25-year-old man dead from a gunshot wound to the chest in the front yard of a home in Lizella, the station said.
Newsweek said the incident took place just before 5 p.m. Thursday.

The homeowner told deputies that the naked suspect tackled his wife off the riding lawnmower she was using, WSB said.

The homeowner said he tried to pull the man off his wife, but the suspect attacked him — and then started attacking his wife again, the station said.

So the husband said he retrieved his gun and shot the suspect, WSB reported.

What happened to the wife and husband?

The station said the wife was taken to a hospital where she was stable and treated for her injuries. The husband — who is 66, according to Newsweek — had minor injuries and was treated at the scene, WSB said.

The suspect has not been identified pending notification of next of kin, the station added.

Road-rage mom driving with her young kids reportedly follows car for 15 miles, fires gun at car, hitting teen girl in face — then goes to get her nails done

A mother driving with her three young children reportedly followed a vehicle for about 15 miles on a Georgia freeway Sunday afternoon after apparently getting cut off — and then shot a teen girl who was a passenger in the car she was chasing.

Following the shooting, the mom went to get her nails done.

What are the details?

Investigators
told WAGA-TV that 30-year-old Brittney Alyssa Griffith had been following a car on Interstate 20 after a road-rage incident in Villa Rica. The station’s video report indicated that Griffith followed the car for about 15 miles.

As Griffith’s vehicle approached the Chapel Hill Road exit, Griffith allegedly pulled out a gun and shot a 17-year-old in the face, WAGA reported. Douglasville police
told WSB-TV the shooting victim, Ashlyn Crouch, was in the front passenger seat of the other car.

One of the teens in the other car was able to snap a photo of Griffith pointing a gun at them, WSB said.

The shooting victim told her mother, Dianna Crouch, the car she was in accidentally cut off Griffith, WSB reported.

“And she shot them the bird, and they shot back,” Dianna Crouch added to the station.

Crouch said her daughter is out of intensive care and in a regular room, WSB reported, adding that she said Ashlyn “was shot behind her ear, and it came out through the side of her eye …”

Judge says suspect got her nails done after shooting

Griffith turned herself in around 11 p.m. Sunday, WSB said, adding that detectives learned her three children — ages 4 to 9 — were in her car at the time of the shooting.

Griffith has been charged with four counts of aggravated assault, three counts of cruelty to children — her own three kids — and one count of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, WSB said.

The suspect was denied bond Monday morning, WSB said, adding that Judge Susan Camp with the Douglas County Magistrate Court said Griffith went to get her nails done after the shooting.

“That just blows my mind,” Dianna Crouch told WSB. “That makes me think she had no remorse.”

Crouch added to WSB that “people just need to take a deep breath, or just stay off the road.”

‘God has kept me protected’

Ashlyn Crouch, speaking from her hospital bed, thanked those who prayed for her and said, “God has kept me protected,” WSB reported in a follow-up story.

She added to the station that she knows if the bullet had hit her a few inches over, she might not have survived.

Dianna Crouch told WSB the bullet “missed everything that it needed to miss; God is good” and that her daughter’s eyesight is not permanently damaged.

Ashlyn Crouch added to the station that the incident also taught her a valuable lesson: “You never know what someone is thinking, or if they in they’re right mind. Stay alert and keep gestures to yourself.”

She also told WSB that she hopes Griffith finds God.
