Rapper NBA YoungBoy to plead guilty to Louisiana federal gun charge


Case will be transferred to Utah, where he faces unrelated charges of running prescription drug fraud ring

The move gives the federal government jurisdiction to prosecute Gaulden in Utah, where he was charged earlier this year with more than 60 felony counts tied to a “large scale prescription fraud ring”.
