Young Thug wants his probation terms changed so he can visit Atlanta more

ATLANTA — Young Thug and his attorneys have filed a motion to amend the terms of his probation so he can visit Atlanta for personal reasons.

The rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, pleaded guilty as part of a non-negotiated plea in the YSL RICO case.

As part of his sentence, Williams cannot be in the metro Atlanta area for the first 10 years of his 15-year probation. His attorneys are requesting his client be allowed to attend family gatherings for the holidays.

“Mr. Williams has family in the metro Atlanta area, specifically in the Atlanta, Georgia area and respectfully requests the ability to reside/visit, at times, in his home located in the city in the attached, under seal, document so that he can have family gatherings for holidays and other lawful reasons with his family, friends and business associates, which is a home already owned by Mr. Williams,” the motion reads.

The motion claims that Williams and his attorneys have made the request to the Fulton County Chief Probation Officer and that she doesn’t object to the request.

His attorneys also ask that Williams’ new address not be listed on a public website given his “status as a known public figure.”

There is currently no date for a hearing on the motion.

Under the current terms, Williams is required to return to the metro Atlanta area to make a live anti-gang and anti-gun violence presentation. He must visit four times per year at a grade school, middle school, Boys and Girls Club or similar group.
