Arrest of Rapper NBA YoungBoy and Starr Thigpen (Part II)

On February 11, 2019 Atlanta Police Department Officers Sobocinski and White responded to a fight in progress at Hyatt House Atlanta hotel. Upon arrival, the officers briefly spoke with hotel staff in the lobby who stated that another staff member had been attacked by a guest and that the guest was headed back to their room.

Accompanied by a hotel employee, the officers went up to room 708 and found Kentrell DeSean Gaulden, better known as the rapper "NBA YoungBoy" or "Young Boy Never Broke Again" and his girlfriend Starr Thigpen. When officers found the duo they were locked out of their room... and their toddler ("baybeh") was locked inside. With their drugs.

All of the above is in Part I. As Part II begins I'll let the footage take over the story.

Toward the end of the video, it seems that the relationship between Gaulden, Thigpen, and the two arresting officers changes substantially. They are all casually joking around about Lil Bow Wow, the officers provide actually-helpful advice on how their arrestees can get through the booking process quickly. Of course, their conversation also contains a warning from the officer that Gaulden should behave himself because he wouldn't want this footage getting out on YouTube or Instagram. Too bad I didn't get the memo.

Despite their apparent chumminess, in the end, the officers seized 9.2 grams of marijuana and poured out a cup of NBA YoungBoy's “lean," a promethazine / codeine concoction also known as Purple Drank. The responding officers booked Gaulden and Thigpen on charges of disorderly conduct and marijuana less than an ounce, and left their screaming toddler in the care of his uncle (Gaulden's brother).

All charges were eventually dismissed.
