The plot has thickened in the YSL RICO trial, but not exactly pertaining to those on trial. A member of the legal counsel is now facing charges of her own.

YSL RICO Trial Defense Attorney Reportedly Arrested on Gang Charges

On Friday (Feb. 16), YSL defense attorney Nicole Fegan was arrested on gang-related charges in Atlanta. According to the Atlanta Police Department, Fegan has been taken into custody and transported to Fulton County Jail on charges of participation in criminal street gang activity and criminal solicitation to commit tampering with evidence.

Attorney Nicole Fegan’s charges stem from a 2022 incident, unrelated to the YSL RICO case, in which two men were shot in northwest Atlanta. Following an investigation, Atlanta police allege that Fegan made direct contact with a suspect in the September 2022 shooting, informing him of an active warrant for his arrest. After learning of the warrant during a court hearing related to the shooting, Nicole Fegan allegedly told the then-suspect to get rid of his phone as police were preparing for the arrest.

XXL has reached out to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office for a statement on the matter.
