Young Thug‘s Christmas shopping got short-circuited by a pair of handcuffs — he got busted in a fancy Atlanta mall, and how it went down is an amazing coincidence.
Officers perp walked the rapper through Lenox Square Mall Thursday night, but law enforcement sources say the cops weren’t even looking to arrest him. We’re told officers had responded to a stolen vehicle report, and while walking through the mall looking for a suspect they bumped into Young Thug.
One of the officers recognized him and remembered he’d recently missed a court date — for excessive window tinting — and that was all she wrote for Thug. He was booked for the warrant and released after posting a $500 bond. If only he’d cyber-shopped.
Merry Christmas!
Fun fact: Thug’s been hit with a lot of karma since that Alaska Air incident. Just sayin’.
