Why is NBA YoungBoy under house arrest?
The Louisiana rapper has been on 24-hour house arrest in Utah since October 2021 after a judge in a federal case against him in his home state granted him conditional release as he awaits trial stemming from an arrest in September 2020 involving several others, court records obtained by USA TODAY show.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2021 for possession of two weapons.

Since his house release began, he's released three albums: "The Last Slimento," "I Rest My Case" and "Don't Try This at Home."
Amid his federal case in Louisiana, Gaulden was arrested for alleged possession of a weapon Los Angeles in March 2021 shortly after his earlier indictment. He went to trial for the Los Angeles case in July 2022 and was acquitted of the charges, per court records.
