NBA YoungBoy has been hit with three new charges related to a large-scale prescription fraud operation.
The rapper was charged earlier this months with 63 counts including possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person and for a pattern of unlawful activity.
Both of the above charges are Class 2 felony charges. Other charges include procuring or attempting to procure drug/prescription, identity fraud, forgery, and possession of other controlled substances. In the new charges filed on April 26, 2024 from Weber County authorities, Gaulden faces another possession of a firearm by a restricted person felony charge and two counts of fraudulently obtaining a prescription.
“Even strict federal pre-trial supervision was unable to thwart his criminal activities and associations,” wrote Clark Harms, Deputy Weber County Attorney. “Finally, defendant is charged with a felony and there is substantial evidence to support the charge and clear and convincing evidence that he violated several material conditions of his federal pre-trail release.”
The rapper was previously on house arrest in Hunstville, Utah before his latest arrest. He could be sent back to Louisiana.
