Young Thug was said to have handed the painkiller to the deputy when asked to.
A recent incident in a Georgia courtroom has raised concerns about the safety and security of court proceedings. According to the district attorney’s office, a fellow defendant handed rapper Young Thug a painkiller in the middle of a court hearing.
The incident occurred while Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was on trial for charges related to drug possession and firearms offenses. During a break in the proceedings, the district attorney alleges that another defendant, Kahlieff Adams handed Williams a small, orange pill.
The DA’s office says that the pill has been identified as hydrocodone, a powerful opioid painkiller. Williams allegedly took the pill in full view of the court before proceedings resumed.
Thug was approached by a deputy and he then handed over the pill. This doesn’t make Thug look good as he is fighting charges that can possibly send him away to prison for more than 25 years.
This situation is extremely concerning as it not only puts the safety of the defendants and court staff at risk but also undermines the integrity of the court proceedings. It’s also a violation of the court’s rule and could result in additional charges for the defendants involved.
What’s going to happen? We don’t know but we will update you guys as more information becomes available.
