YSL Defense Lawyer Arrested on Gang-Related Charges

In a development tied to Georgia's extensive YSL racketeering conspiracy case, a lawyer representing one of the co-defendants alongside rapper Young Thug has been apprehended. Nicole Fegan faces allegations of engaging in criminal street gang activity and advising a suspect to tamper with evidence, according to authorities.

The arrest stems from suspicions that Fegan contacted a suspect involved in a separate case, informing them of active warrants and advising them to discard their phone. This communication allegedly occurred following a preliminary hearing related to a September 27, 2022 shooting incident in Northwest Atlanta. Police assert that Fegan, not representing the suspect, shared information obtained during the hearing and urged them to dispose of potential evidence ahead of an impending arrest.

Fegan, who represents defendant Tenquarius Mender in the YSL RICO case, saw her client separated from the primary prosecution last May. Mender, pregnant at the time, is set for a separate trial. Efforts to contact Fegan following her arrest were unsuccessful.

Meanwhile, rapper Young Thug, also known as Jeffery Williams, faces trial for racketeering conspiracy alongside five other defendants. Prosecutors allege Williams led a violent criminal enterprise under the guise of his record label, Young Stoner Life (YSL). While Williams maintains his innocence, another rapper, Sergio Kitchens, known as Gunna, previously pleaded guilty to a racketeering charge in December 2022.
