'I'm so high right now, I'm about to sleep!' witness on Young Thug RICO case tells Judge

On Monday, during the latest testimony hearing in the YSL RICO case, state witness Adrian Bean took the stand once again.

However, Bean had a slight issue that he couldn't shake off - he claimed to have been so high that he was about to fall asleep on everyone in the courthouse. 

In the video footage which has since gone viral online, Bean looked around the courtroom with his eyes low before saying into the microphone, "I'm so high right now y'all, I'm about to go to sleep on y'all, man."

Lead prosecutor D.A. Adriane Love then offered him a bottle of water, while Thug’s attorney Brian Steel asked if Bean needed a moment to get it together. Despite the condition he was in, he opted to keep going.

“Let’s keep the ball rolling,” Bean responded.

Bean has been taking the stand to testify and has repeatedly claimed he doesn't recall what happened during a September 2013 incident where he was alleged to be the getaway driver in a crime involving Thugger.

Bean's testimony is reportedly the only evidence that ties the rapper to the crime. 

On Friday, Bean told Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville that he's received threats, been harassed, and lost his job due to testifying in the trial.

"I don't remember nothing from 2013, I keep telling y'all that," Bean said. "Y'all got my name on a recorder, my phone number on a recorder. These people are threatening me. They're calling my phone, your honour. I lost my job. I got a lot going on."

Bean also stated that he felt prosecutors were "trying to assassinate" him and asked if he was on trial. Judge Glanville said, "No, sir, you are not on trial. But you have been properly summoned here as a witness, and you're subject to examination until I release you."

Young Thug and five other co-defendants face a long trial after an 86-page RICO indictment was filed against 28 total defendants.

Thug, the lead defendant, is the purported leader of the YSL 'gang'. He is charged with eight violations of Georgia’s homegrown RICO statute, and his remaining co-defendants are charged with various other crimes.
