<h3 style="text-align: center;">42 Dugg Facing Anywhere Between 6 Months &; 5 Years Behind Bars</h3>
<p>While prosecutors have agreed to recommend a six-month sentence for the rapper, the presiding judge—William Ray II—can potentially overrule the recommendation and hit Hayes with up to 5 years in prison.</p>
<p>Additionally, upon his eventual release, 42 Dugg agreed to attend a 30-day inpatient drug treatment program. This will be followed with a 30-day outpatient program.</p>
<p>Sentencing is set to go down on May 10, and there are no further updates at this time.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">42 Dugg Fell Into Trouble After The ATF Received A Tip-Off</h3>
<p>According to The Detroit News, these legal issues date back November 2019, as the Bureau or Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) received a tip that Dugg—who had previously served time over carjacking and firearms possession charges—had fired a weapon at an Atlanta gun range.</p>
<p>This accusation was confirmed via video surveillance footage, and the rap star was ultimately arrested and charged with felony firearms possession in March 2020.</p>
<p>He was later sentenced to three years of probation. However, after he was repeatedly caught violating the terms of his probation, he was ordered to surrender to a federal prison camp to serve 6 months.</p>
<p>Ultimately, his failure to comply with this order landed him into more trouble, though the exact ramifications won&#8217;t be clear until he&#8217;s sentenced later this year.</p>
