The 24-year-old emcee was arrested April 16 at his home in Huntsville, where he was on house arrest while awaiting trial on federal weapons charges.

AceShowbiz - NBA YoungBoy a.k.a. YoungBoy Never Broke Again was seemingly unbothered by his legal trouble. The Baton Rouge emcee could be seen smiling while he was at court on Thursday, May 9.

In photos surfacing online, the 24-year-old was wearing an orange inmate jumpsuit donning a mustache. On that day, Judge Spencer D. Walsh in a Cache County, Utah, set a $100,000 bond for the rapper, who faces dozens of charges involving a fraudulent prescription operation he allegedly orchestrated.

YB was arrested April 16 after a raid of his Utah home, dubbed Grave Digger Mountain, where he was on house arrest while awaiting trial on federal weapons charges. Officials allege that he and his crew orchestrated a large-scale prescription drug fraud scheme, using phony prescriptions to obtain drugs like promethazine and codeine.

The rap star faces 63 felonies and misdemeanors related to the fraudulent prescription operation. They included identity fraud, obtaining a prescription under false pretenses, forgery, possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, engaging in a pattern of unlawful activity, and possession of a controlled substance.

The arrest stems from an investigation by Cache County, Utah, authorities, who received a tip from a suspicious pharmacist. Investigators believed YoungBoy and others contacted pharmacies using real doctors' names and DEA numbers to call in prescriptions, which were then filled.

Following his arrest, a federal judge signed a request from prosecutors to schedule a bond revocation hearing. Gaulden has been on house arrest in Utah while awaiting trial in Louisiana on gun possession charges. If Judge Shelly Dick determines that he violated his pre-trial release terms, he could be held until trial.
