Pharmacist saw 'red flags' in callers posing as doctors in NBA YoungBoy's alleged fraud ring

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) - A pharmacist in northern Utah targeted by callers in a scheme involving rapper NBA YoungBoy said multiple red flags prevented them from fulfilling the order.
The rapper, known legally as Kentrell Gaulden, has been on house arrest in Utah since 2021.
Gaulden was taken into custody Tuesday by the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, accused of organizing a fraud ring involving prescription thefts at Utah pharmacies.

It’s the pharmacy fault as well. They suppose to be on top of things like that and know when the dates on when he last called a prescription in and also when it’s time he refill again. They should know all that. So they was lacking on the job as well.

House arrest. And he still has to deal with the charges that he's on house arrest for also. But this is what you get with young men being raised by single mothers with no strong fathers around. And then give him millions of dollars.. insanity... He's not even talented have you actually listened to him rap? Is really just mumbo jumbo.
