Atlanta rapper Young Thug, charged with criminal gang activity in Georgia, was passed drugs in a hand-to-hand exchange with a co-defendant during a court hearing Wednesday, prosecutors said.
The act was caught on camera, according to a motion filed Thursday by prosecutors in Fulton County.
The artist, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was in court with co-defendant Kahlieff Adams when Adams walked unattended to where Young Thug was sitting with his attorney and put something in his hand, the motion said.
Young Thug tried to conceal his hand with the contraband, Percocet, under the table, prosecutors said.
A sheriff's deputy noticed the exchange, walked up to Young Thug and seized the Percocet, according to court documents.
Deputies also searched Adams, who resisted, and found Percocet, marijuana, tobacco and other contraband “wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to mask the odor of the marijuana,” the motion said.
Adams was taken to a nearby hospital after 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 filing said.
