AceShowbiz - JayDaYoungan has found himself getting entangled in legal trouble yet again. More than a month after he was released from prison for his previous crime, the "23 Island" rapper was reportedly arrested again on multiple charges.
The 23-year-old emcee was taken into custody on Saturday afternoon, October 30 during a routine traffic stop in Washington Parish, Louisiana. He was then booked into Washington Parish Jail on several charges.
The charges included, "a second violation of child restraint, switched license plates, driving without insurance, illegal use of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a minor, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with weapons present, possession of marijuana, possession of a schedule II narcotic, obstruction of justice and contempt of court."
The musician, whose real name is Javorius Tykies Scott, is currently held without bond.
The Bogalusa native was initially arrested in mid-September. He was booked into Tangipahoa Parish Jail on charges of Accessory to Second-Degree Murder and Obstruction of Justice.
He was busted in connection to a deadly altercation back in 2020. WAFB6 reported that he was involved in a violent drive-by shooting on August 8 that year around 7:30 P.M. between local rival gangs. Fox 8, on the other hand, has identified the gangs as La Familia and Purple City Boys.
The shooting left an innocent woman named Zion Hutcherson dead. However, officials stated that they believed the 21-year-old mother of one was not the target of the shooting. She reportedly fell victim after getting hit by a stray bullet.
JayDaYoungan, however, was released a few days later after posting a $175,000 bond. After getting his freedom back, he took to his Instagram account to share an update with his fans. "ALL IS WELL NOW," he assured his followers at that time. "TOP PROSPECT FREE ALL THE GUYS YEEEEE."
