According to the US Department of Justice, JayDaYoungan was released from prison after spending around seven months on weapons charges.

On Thursday (June 16), U.S. District Judge Sarah S. Vance sentenced the 24-year-old rapper — real name Javorius Scott — to time served, one year of supervised release, a $5,500 fine, and a $100 required special assessment charge. JayDaYoungan pled guilty to a single-count indictment accusing him of possessing a handgun while under indictment or criminal charges.

According to court filings, JayDaYoungan was stopped by Bogalusa Police Department officers on October 28, 2021 because his automobile had a swapped license plate. Police discovered a loaded Ruger Security-9, 9mm, revolver beneath his knees, as well as a small amount of marijuana, while he refused to offer his license or car registration.

JayDaYoungan was indicted for felony charges in Harris County, Texas at the time the handgun was confiscated. He was facing a potential term of five years in federal prison, three years of probation, and a $250,000 fine in December 2021, according to reports.

Following his arrest on September 26, 2021 for accessory to second-degree murder and obstruction of justice, JayDaYoungan spent four days in Tangipahoa Parish Jail before posting $175,000 bond. The arrest stemmed from a gunfight at a trail ride in August 2020 that left two people injured and one person dead.

He was arrested on August 20, 2021, after being pulled over for reckless driving and speeding with his side passenger door open. He was apparently driving a car with a suspended license while simultaneously transporting a wife and a kid.

JayDaYoungan had been arrested in Coweta County, Georgia, just a few months prior for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, narcotics possession, and tampering with evidence.

According to WAFB, JayDaYoungan was arrested during a routine traffic stop in Washington Parish, Louisiana, on Saturday afternoon (October 30), after posting bond in a previous case in September.

The Atlantic Records rapper is currently being held in the Washington Parish Jail on charges including a second violation of child restraint, switched license plates, driving without insurance, illegal use of a controlled dangerous substance in the presence of a minor, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with weapons present, possession of marijuana, possession of a schedule II narcotic, obstruction of justice, and contempt of court.

According to his arrest records, JayDaYoungan — born Javorius Scott — was jailed just before 3 p.m. CT on Saturday afternoon, and his bond amount is recorded as $0.00, indicating that he’ll be sticking there for the time being.

The 23-year-old was recently granted his release after serving a four-day jail sentence in Tangipahoa Parish Jail on counts of accessory to second-degree murder and obstruction of justice. The arrest was made in connection with a tragic firefight at a trail ride in August 2020, which left two people injured and one person dead.

When jail officials discovered a photo of him behind bars posted to his social media accounts while he was still in detention, JayDaYoungan’s September 30 release was nearly disrupted.

The corrections officer at Tangipahoa Parish Jail who was caught taking the photo was dismissed right away, but Jay volunteered to keep the officer employed by paying their expenses until they could find another work.
