Rapper Young Thug & Co-Defendant Kahlieff Adams Accused Of Conducting In-Court Drug Transaction During RICO Trial

According to Fulton County prosecutors, Thug’s co-defendant Kahlieff Adams was caught handing Thug – whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams – a bag of Percocets despite two bailiffs being mere feet away.

The alleged exchange was also caught on courtroom surveillance video.

Adams resisted the search and was then transported to a nearby hospital because “he appeared to ingest other items of contraband that he held on his person, in an effort to conceal the extent of his crimes within the courtroom.”

The deputies ultimately found a series of other drugs on Adams’ person, including: Percocet, marijuana, and other contraband “wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to mask the odor of the marijuana.”

“His side is the truth,” said Keith Adams, Thug’s defense attorney, following the courtroom incident. “The reality is Mr. Williams had nothing to do with what went on in the courtroom on yesterday.”

Thug’s lawyer also claimed his client did not know what was being handed to him when he was approached by his co-defendant in the courtroom.

Teombre Calland, a defense attorney representing Thug’s co-defendant, also released a statement following the alleged exchange, denying the incident took place.

“On behalf of Mr. Adams, these allegations are simply that: mere statements made by the state in an effort to thwart the lengthiness of the jury selection process,” Calland wrote.
