On Thursday July 7, 2022, a superior court judge shut down his motion for bond. This marks the second time Judge Ural Glanville has denied the rapper’s request to be released, per Billboard Pro. As previously reported, the judge first denied Gunna, real name Sergio Kitchens, on May 23.
Following the ruling, one of Gunna’s attorneys provided a statement to Billboard. Co-counsel Steve Sadow expressed “disappointment” with Judge Glanville’s refusal to reconsider his previous ruling.
The artist surrendered to police custody on May 11 following the release of an extensive indictment listing 28 people, including Young Thug. Police had arrested Thug at his Buckhead, Atlanta home just two days before. An 88-page indictment alleges Gunna possessed the drugs methamphetamine, hydrocodone, and marijuana with an intent to distribute.
