During his 2023 arrest, YoungBoy was already under house arrest at his house in Utah. He apparently was awaiting for a trial on a separate case. In November 2024, YoungBoy pleaded guilty to about 10 charges and chose a no-contest plea for the rest of the allegations.

At the time, a 23-month prison sentence was decided for the rapper. Along with this, the rapper was also sentenced to 60 months of probation. The outlet further suggested that the rapper's release date was supposed to be July 2025, according to initial reports.

KUTV has further reported that the rapper has returned to Utah and his residence has been surrounded with heavily armed security forces. Neighbors claimed that the armed forces were restricting them from even using the public street infront of NBA YoungBoy's property. Judy Zone, a local resident, told KUTV:

"I was stopped by two guys (Saturday) with bullet proof vests---security, dressed all in black--and one of them had an AK strapped to his chest. It introduces this level of anxiety."

No response on the photos as well as the apparent early release has been made by the rapper yet.
