“Gunna is facing the music in a sweeping racketeering case reverberating throughout Atlanta – the guy’s now in custody … and his mug shot is one for the ages.
The rapper was arrested and booked into the Fulton County Jail early Wednesday morning on RICO charges — — stemming, of course, from the 56-count indictment levied against him and dozens of alleged YSL gang members this week.
According to jail records, Gunna surrendered and turned himself in to the authorities — whereas his alleged co-conspirator, Young Thug, was hauled to jail by cops who raided his property on Monday.
Both MCs have been accused of possession and intent to sell a variety of narcotics, receiving stolen property, and for general street gang activity. They were also charged with being part of a larger criminal enterprise comprised of YSL associates who are alleged to have been involved in a bunch of crimes, including the attempted murder of rapper YFN Lucci.
Gunna is scheduled to make a court appearance Wednesday.
Fulton County D.A., Fani Willis, said in a press conference Tuesday that gangs in Atlanta were responsible for committing roughly 75% to 80% of violent crimes there … and vowed to crack down on the alleged perpetrators, no matter who they are.”
