View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe incident occurred in Utah County along I-15 at approximately 4:30 PM, and like other areas across the country, this is one of the most patrolled areas by the Utah Highway Patrol. According to authorities, this incident occurred on the last days of December, just before the New Year. According to Fox 13, the incident happened on New Year's Eve, but it has been stated otherwise by Utah's KUTV News.Once the car had stopped because of the traffic violation, probable cause was established for the UHP trooper to search the vehicle. Three were riding in the car: an unidentified male driver, an unidentified female passenger, and NBA YoungBoy, whose legal name is Kentrell Gaulden.The search based on probable cause led the troopers to discover illegal drugs in the vehicle. The sources have been able to confirm that the drugs found in the vehicle were indeed found at the scene. Nevertheless, the source and quantity of the drugs involved are not known yet.Moreover, there was some money found in the car, which immediately raised a storm on social media. ⁠How did NBA YoungBoy evade getting arrested on drug charges? Although NBA YoungBoy was there, he was not arrested or detained. Sgt. Mike Alexander of the Utah Highway Patrol stated that responsibility for the drugs was clearly determined at the scene.Both parties, the male driver and the female passenger, claimed ownership of the drugs. After examining the incident, the troopers consulted with the Utah County Attorney’s Office, which concluded that all potential charges would then be screened only against the aforementioned individuals.Sgt. Mike Alexander of the Utah Highway Patrol said:“In consultation with the Utah County Attorney’s Office, it was decided that charges would be screened against those two individuals for the possession of those illicit drugs.”There was no basis to charge YoungBoy, since he, in fact, made no claim of ownership, nor was he found to be in possession of the drugs.Money has also been found, said the police, during the search, although Sgt. Alexander made it clear that the money was not associated with the drugs.There were no allegations of wrongdoing against NBA YoungBoy, and money did not factor into charging decisions when there were no connections to illegal acts.NBA Youngboy's past legal issuesThe 26-year-old rapper has had a lot of run-ins with the law, which include a Utah drug fraud case from 2024 that led to a $25,000 fine and previous incarceration for the offense of possessing a firearm.Sgt. Alexander did, however, affirm that prior convictions had no bearing on this inquiry. The rapper's past record was not taken into consideration while making charging judgments; instead, the evidence obtained during the traffic stop was the only basis. Sgt. Alexander stated:“At this time, I’m not aware of charges being considered against Mr. Gaulden.”As of now, neither NBA YoungBoy nor his representatives have provided any comments on the incident.
