Young Thug: 'Barter 6' Rapper Has Drugs & Weapons Violations Added to Terroristic Threats

It's been a tough couple of days for Young Thug. Yesterday, the Atlanta rapper was charged with making "terroristic threats," and soon after, on an unrelated note, he was named in an indictment for plotting to kill Lil Wayne. Now, the Barter 6 rapper has racked up some new charges, as police found drugs and weapons when they raided his house for the aforementioned terrorism allegations.

The news comes via Mike Petchenik, reporter for Atlanta's WSB-TV, and the same man who revealed the indictment that named both Thug and Birdman in a conspiracy to murder Lil Wayne. Petchenik reports that Thug has accrued both drug and weapons violations following yesterday's raid of his home in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

Thug's house was raided by U.S. Marshals, though the new charges come courtesy of Sandy Springs police. Of course, there would be no raid if Thug weren't charged with terroristic threats, for allegedly threatening to shoot an Atlanta mall cop in the face.

XXL reports Young Thug was released from DeKalb County jail this morning after posting his $10,000 bail, though we haven't heard from the rapper or anyone from his team.

In sum, Thug now has charges for terroristic threats, drugs and weapons. Neither Thug nor Birdman have been charged (yet?) in relation to Lil Wayne's attempted murder.

On April 26, a shooter, who police now suspect to be Jimmy Winfrey, a man rumored to be Thug's former road manager, opened fire on Wayne's tour bus. No one on board the bus was injured, though Winfrey turned himself in to authorities about a month later.

The indictment names Birdman and Thug as co-conspirators in a gang-related plot against Wayne, alleging that Winfrey might have acted on their behalf.

With everything that's happened in the past two days, we expect Slime Season, Thug's upcoming mixtape with producer London on da Track, to be further delayed.
