Rapper Young Thug Faces 6 New Felony Charges in RICO Case

ATLANTA- Rapper Young Thug has been hit with 6 new felony charges in his RICO case along with four others charged in the indictment.

A new indictment was filed in Fulton County Superior Court last week against the rapper.

Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams now faces additional charges of violation of the Georgia controlled substances act, participation in criminal street gang activity, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, drug charges and possession of a machine gun, reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The new charges stem from when Thugga was arrested May 9 at his Atlanta home on the indictment.

The initial indictment had 56 counts against 28 people, who are allegedly part of YSL, which prosecutors allege is a gang. The updated indictment now has 65 counts and 6 belong to the Atlanta rapper.
