YoungBoy Never Broke Again's Bond Set At $100,000 In Prescription Drug Fraud Case
Today (May 9), a Cache County judge set YoungBoy Never Broke Again‘s bond at $100,000 in connection with a prescription drug fraud case involving multiple others.
YoungBoy was arrested on April 16 following a detailed investigation into what authorities called an “ongoing criminal enterprise.” Investigators alleged that the “Kacey Talk” hitmaker and his associates used a pharmacist’s identity to fraudulently obtain prescriptions for promethazine and codeine from multiple pharmacies across Utah.
According to court documents obtained by KUTV, “The prescription was called in by an individual claiming to be a physician in the Provo, Utah area, providing an actual, valid DEA number, NPI number, and other identification for the real physician.”
