ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Newly obtained body cam footage shows the dramatic incident that caused a Fulton County courtroom to be evacuated earlier this week during the massive Young Thug/YSL RICO trial.
On Wednesday, one of the defendants in the trial, Rodalius Ryan, aka Lil’ Rod, was removed from the courtroom on, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, suspicion of marijuana. Ryan, according to the department, “did not want to be searched, per safety protocols.”
The body cam footage came from one of the Fulton County deputies involved in Ryan’s removal from the courtroom and subsequent search.
The video begins with deputies escorting Ryan out of the courtroom into a side room. One deputy then tells Ryan he detects a strong odor of marijuana, and tells Ryan he is going to be strip searched. Ryan told the deputies he didn’t have any marijuana on him, and removes his shirt, pants, shoes and socks.
