Young Thug released from jail after guilty plea on gang charges

US rapper Young Thug was released from jail Thursday evening after pleading guilty to gang, drug and gun charges, in a dramatic twist that ended the longest criminal trial in Georgia history.

The 33-year-old Grammy winner, born Jeffery Lamar Williams, has spent more than 900 days behind bars since his arrest on racketeering and gang-related charges.

In May 2022, prosecutors alleged the rap label he founded was a front for an organised crime syndicate responsible for “75 to 80% of violent crime” in Atlanta.

He was sentenced on Thursday to time served and 15 years of probation, and jail records show he was released later that night.

deputy for allegedly attempting to smuggle contraband to a defendant.

In another instance, the court’s Zoom account was hacked into by an apparent supporter of Mr Williams who yelled “free Thug!”.

Earlier this week, three of Mr Williams’s co-defendants in the case took plea deals.

The remaining two defendants in the case, Shannon Stillwell and Deamonte Kendrick, reportedly plan to move ahead with their trials.
