Rapper Young Buck Arrested In Tennessee On Fugitive Warrant And Held Without Bond

Rapper and Nashville native David “Young Buck” Brown was arrested in Tennessee on a fugitive of justice charge for child abandonment out of Georgia.

Young Buck was taken into custody on Dec. 20 after an officer pulled him and a driver over in a black Ford F-150. The officer said the driver appeared to be talking on his cell phone, which is why they were pulled over. The officer then identified the driver and former G-Unit group member Young Buck, who was a passenger.

FOX 17 Nashville reports:

The officer said the vehicle smelled like marijuana when he approached it. When asked by the officer if there was marijuana in the truck, Brown reportedly handed him a rolled joint and said it was his.

A computer check through dispatch showed Brown had a full extradition warrant out of Newton County, Georgia for child abandonment. Brown was placed in custody before police conducted a probable cause search of the vehicle.

Police said Brown was not charged with the marijuana because he was possibly being extradited to Georgia and “very cooperative.” A property receipt was written out and the marijuana was placed in a drop box.

Young Buck was taken to the Cheatham County Jail in Tennessee where he is being held without bond and could possibly be staying behind bars until May.
