NBA YOUNG BOY ARRESTED

-

 On Monday, September 28, the Baton Rouge Police Department arrested a total of 16 people on drug and firearm charges. Among those arrested was chart-topping rapper NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden. Gaulden faces three drug charges, as well as drug distribution, felon in possession of a firearm, and stolen firearms charges. The police say that all 16 people arrested face similar variations of the same charges.


The Baton Rouge Police Department received tips from an anonymous source along with the FBI about a group of people brandishing guns at an abandoned lot in the 3800 block of Chippewa Street around 4:30 pm on September 28. When officials arrived, multiple people reportedly ran from the scene while some were detained for questioning. During the incident, officers confiscated drugs, guns, and a large amount of cash. In total, 16 people were arrested, 14 guns were seized (one stolen and two with illegal stocks), and $79,000 in cash was also collected.



“We have consistently said that we can’t do this alone. We need help from the community to solve crimes. When you see something, say something. This is another example of our citizens getting involved and calling us when they witness suspicious activity. Thank you for your help Baton Rouge. Keep talking. We will never stop listening!” said BRPD Chief Murphy Paul.


In addition to NBA YoungBoy, the following people were also arrested: Marrow Battie, Charles Brown, Daryl Brown, Joshua Butler, Kendrick Edwards, Cleveland Ely, Anthony Grayer, Jalen Griffin, Nathan Hayes, Dionel Jacob, Dalton Quiett, Marvin Ramsey, Joseph Robinson, Deonte Smart, Tyler Taylor, Jalen Griffin, Nathan Hayes, and Dionel Jacob.


Earlier this month, the rapper’s sophomore album, Top, earned the No.1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. In December of 2019, a court-approved music video caused issues with the rapper’s lease, and a judge terminated his probation so he could relocate out of the state.


NBA YoungBoy’s attorney, James Manasseh, released a statement on Tuesday, September 29, stating that his client is not guilty of any crimes, and that he believes he will be found innocent in all of this. "There’s nothing in the report that indicates that he did anything wrong. They arrested several people and there was no indication that he had any guns or drugs on him at the time of the arrest."

  Grateful Headz is a successful franchise that has established itself as a household name in numerous cities all across the United States. The roots of Grateful Headz can be traced back to its owner, Cody Harris, who grew up in a small rural town where life was challenging unless you were a farmer or had a prominent last name. He struggled to fit in, a feeling that is relatable to many people. But he decided to break free from society's expectations and pursue his passion for marijuana, a substance that wasn't always as widely accepted as it is now. As a young stoner growing up in southeast Missouri, Cody first heard of Schwagstock, a festival that had a profound impact on his life. When he walked into the vendor row, known as shakedown street at the festival, he was surrounded by a community of creative and like-minded individuals, and he knew that he had to be a part of it. He started selling his products at festivals and got a job at a local smoke shop. However, he found th...
