Defendant Rodalius Ryan allegedly snuck illegal drugs during the Young Slime Life trial on

An incident took place on Wednesday inside the courthouse where the Young Slime Life trial was happening. In the middle of the trial during recess, the defendant Ryan began yelling and had to be taken out of the courtroom.

Officers suspected that he possessed marijuana since he smelled of illegal drugs. The Young Slime Life member also refused to be searched. The same was further confirmed by Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat.

Apart from Ryan, two more co-defendants had to be escorted out of the courtroom. Suri Chadha Jiminez, who is representing Coradius Dorsey, one of the 28 names that came up in the RICO indictment, said spoke about the incident. Noting that it was ridiculous, the attorney said that this shouldn't have happened and added:

“A bunch of the deputies went over to the table where Mr. Ryan and his attorney Ms. Angela was sitting, and they asked him to step to the back.”

Jiminez added:

“They take him back there, and we could hear screams. And as you could hear the screams coming from the back a lot of us were concerned. The attorneys stood up and were trying to figure out what was going on.”
