“Defendant Adams was taken to Grady Hospital after he appeared to ingest other items of contraband that he held on his person, in an effort to conceal the extent of his crimes within the courtroom,” the District Attorneys’ Office wrote in court documents.

A lawyer for another co-defendant also submitted paperwork of their own, and they want a full investigation into the incident. Their version of events slightly differs from what the D.A. shared.

“Shortly after Mr. Adams is taken to the back holding cells,” they wrote. “While in the Courtroom the undersigned Attorney, his client, and several other individuals could hear loud banging and yelling coming from the holding area where Mr. Adams was being held. While the disturbance took place several officers ran into the courtroom and went into the holding area where Mr. Adams was being held.”

The lawyer called the sound “distressing,” and when Adams’s attorney asked to check on her client, she was denied. Following the incident, “all Defendants were removed from the Court room.”

“According to the State Mr. Adams was transported to Hospital because he allegedly ingested the contraband, however upon information and belief, Mr. Adams was also transported because he needed medical assistance after being tased several times by officers.”

“My colleague @MarkWinneWSB just obtained surveillance video that shows the moment prosecutors accuse Young Thug and his co defendant Kahlieff Adams of conducting a ‘hand-to-hand’ drug deal in court,” Seiden tweeted.

“Prosecutors say the surveillance shows Adams walk over to where Young Thug is seated with his attorney,” he continued. “And then drop a Percocet in his hand. A deputy confronts Young Thug and he turns over the pill to authorities.”
