18-year-old arrested for threatening officials in YSL indictment
On Thursday, it was revealed that Young Thug’s request for bond was denied. This was due to due to Thug posing a threat to the public, and concerns of witness tampering. Gunna’s request for bail was denied last month as well, as he and Thug Will both remain in jail, until their January 2023 trials.
However, a Thug and Gunna super fan is in jail, over serious threats against officials, who indicted the YSL rappers. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, 18-year-old Quartavius Mender was taken into custody on May 26, 2022. This was due to Mender threatening to kill Sheriff Pat Labat, the Gwinnett County Sheriff, the Fulton Clerk, and more, unless Thug and Gunna were released.
These threats were left in Instagram comments, of the profiles of these officials. Mender is being charged with 23 counts of terrorist threats, which are all felonies. He is being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond.
“We take these kinds of brazen threats seriously,” Sheriff Labat said in a statement. “Social media cyberbullying, and hiding behind a keyboard will not protect someone from criminal prosecution. Our investigators are diligent in seeking individuals who mean to do harm to anybody, and I am grateful to them for ensuring the safety of myself, my wife, and all citizens of Fulton County.”
Thug and Gunna were initially indicted last month, along with 26 other YSL members. Alleged crimes committed included RICO, murder, gang activity, and more.
