On Wednesday, the rapper was arrested in Sandy Springs, Georgia at 6 AM.

UPDATE (07/16): Young Thug was charged with drug and weapons charges after police raided his home. This news comes hot after Young Thug and Birdman's indictment of conspiring to kill Lil' Wayne.

UPDATE (11:54 AM): It appears the reason for Young Thug's arrest was threatening to shoot a mall security guard. AJC writes,

"According to an arrest warrant, Williams was asked to leave the mall and was being escorted out when he “threatened to shoot (a security guard) in the face.”
