As RadarOnline.com reported, the charges against Gunna, Young Thug and the other 26 individuals were revealed on Monday when Fulton County authorities stormed Thug’s Atlanta mansion and arrested the 30-year-old rapper.
In a video of the arrest, Young Thug was seen dressed in a white tank top as he was escorted from the premises in handcuffs and placed into a nearby police car.

On Tuesday afternoon, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat held a press conference confirming Gunna – whose real name is Sergio Giavanni Kitchens – was not yet in police custody.
"He is not in custody,” Sheriff Labat revealed before explaining his department was in contact with Gunna’s team and the two parties were discussing a strategy for the rapper’s surrender.
"We're making arrangements," he continued, "he had representatives call me last night directly so we'll muddle through that piece and let you know."
