Young Thug may be facing even more legal trouble after video surveillance shows a possible drug deal that went down in court. WSBTV reporter Michael Seiden claims 31-year-old Jeffery Lamar Williams exchanged drugs with a hand during his RICO trial.

Seiden showed court CCTV footage of Thug and co-defendant Kahlieff Adams allegedly transferring drugs. Investigators claim Adams shook Thug’s hand while he was sitting next to his attorney, handing him a Percocet.

A deputy noticed the transfer and confronted Thug, who gave the pill over. Deputies searched Adams for more drugs. “Wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to mask the odor,” they found additional Percocet, marijuana, and cigarettes. Thug’s lawyer says he didn’t have anything to do with the exchange and turned the pill over to deputies immediately after the transfer.
