SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Protestors gathered Wednesday morning outside the Sumner County Courthouse to speak out against Straight Outta Cashville rapper, "Young Buck," being ordered to serve time.
Earlier this month, a hearing was held to revoke bond for David Darnell Brown, known by his stage name "Young Buck."
A Criminal Court judge reportedly determined that Brown had "repeated violations of his bond supervision" and ordered him to serve 30 days in the Sumner County Jail.
Protestors at the courthouse told News 2 that they are standing against what they call "political and police corruption."
One protestor stated she joined Wednesday morning's gathering to try to get a handle on the corruption and stand up for those who have been affected by the Sumner County court system.
"I hope they start weeding out these corrupt police, judges, DA's — all of it," said Kimberly Cassetty.
In a statement sent to News 2, Sumner County Sheriff Eric Craddock thanked the demonstrators for expressing their views in a "lawful and respectful manner."
As Americans, we are guaranteed the right to free speech and peaceful assembly under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. These rights are foundational to our republic, and it is our duty not only to uphold them, but to protect those who exercise them peacefully. We thank the demonstrators for their cooperation and for expressing their views in a lawful and respectful manner. Our office remains committed to ensuring public safety while safeguarding the constitutional rights of every citizen
Sheriff Eric Craddock
Brown is scheduled for jury trial on July 24 for the following charges: domestic assault, vandalism over $10,000, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and three counts of a violation order of protection.
