Migos might be in for a fair amount of legal trouble after the group's concert at Georgia Southern University was cancelled by police and members Quavo and Offset were arrested for charges stemming from drug and firearm possession.
The group was performing as part of Georgia Southern's "Spring Bling" concert when Statesboro police apparently instructed the concert manager to cut the sound, leading into a raid where Migos and its group of 15 affiliates were each questioned by law enforcement. There's no word on who tipped off the police force but at this this point it's fair to assume that any gather featuring Migos will feature some degree of illegal activity.
Among the charges attributed to Quavo, Offset and numerous members of their running crew were felony possession of a type 1 narcotic—with TMZ reporting that cocaine, Oxycontin and codeine were among the substances collected by police—as well as charges tied to members carrying a handgun. The latter element leads to allegations of carrying a firearm on school property, and potentially more charges for Offset, as his felon status disallows him from carrying a weapon at any time. Third member Takeoff apparently faced no charges.
No word yet on how long this will hold the trio up from continuing with its tour, or whether prison time could be in the cards as a result of the sting.
Offset's legal woes have caused interruptions for the group as he was arrested during October of 2011 for receiving stolen property, and then he violated the resulting probation, leading to eight months in prison. There's a decent chance that if the charges from this case stick, he could be looking more time behind bars for violation of his probation. The group certainly doesn't have a good vibe going for it—a concert in Albany, NY resulted in six stabbings and a robbery. one of those crimes are connected with the group but still. It ain't look good.
