YoungBoy is accused of a total of 63 charges. Most of the charges are felonies. The penalty include illegal use of a weapon, identity fraud, forgery and an entire slew of petty drug offenses. He and his colleagues, the informant, intended to acquire cough suppressant from several dozen Utah County Southish pharmacies.
YoungBoy denied prescription fraud, but evidence against him appeared. The police discovered a Promethazine bottle marked with a fake name of a patient at YoungBoy’s place of residence. Additionally, the officers discovered the marijuana in a car registered in his name. They also located the gun, stated to be that of his wife.
YoungBoy was detained at the Cache County Jail, where he received information about no bail. He faced a chance of his prison, yet he saw hope in his case. Surprisingly, on March 8, 2024, his charges had been reduced to 48 instead of 63. A federal judge dismissed one of two gun charges in the case.

The NBA YoungBoy affair is not over. The hip hop community is confident that the following chapter in the narrative will take place soon.
