This week, NBA YoungBoy got a full pardon from President Trump on two counts of third-degree felony identity fraud, two counts of third-degree felony forgery, and six counts of misdemeanor unlawful pharmacy conduct — all of which he had pleaded guilty to.
YB was already out of prison, but the pardon nullifies his probation and clears his record.
The case stemmed from a scheme in which YoungBoy impersonated a doctor to get prescription meds.
Cache County, Utah, authorities were part of the investigation, and they are angry that the rapper has been pardoned since it suggests their work was biased.
“We are extremely proud of the work our investigator and prosecutors did on this case, as well as grateful for all the help we received from other local and federal agencies,” Cache County said in a statement. “Mr. Gaulden [YB] pled guilty to the charges in this investigation, and we feel strongly the Justice System in Cache County is far from a ‘weaponized system of justice.'”
