The guy apparently didn’t give up easily — a short chase broke off, but when the car stopped, police said the rapper took off on foot. The police set a limit and brought the K-9 help find YoungBoy. The gun in question was found in his car.
He was was released on a $500,000 bond from a federal prison in October, but a judge ordered him to sit on house arrest in Utah until his trial date.
