A traffic stop at a Valero gas station in this small South Texas town on Sunday, March 29, 2026, led to the arrest of rapper P Yungin (real name reportedly associated with the individual charged) on charges of marijuana possession and unlawful carrying of a weapon. He was released from the Zavala County Jail by April 3, 2026, according to multiple hip-hop media outlets and social media confirmations.
According to the Zavala County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy initiated the stop on a silver Nissan Altima around 3:26 p.m. at the gas station in La Pryor, located in Zavala County south of San Antonio. Deputies reported smelling marijuana, which prompted a search of the vehicle. Authorities recovered approximately 4.2 ounces of marijuana packaged in multiple plastic bags and a loaded firearm with a round chambered (one bullet in the chamber, ready to fire).
P Yungin, identified in hip-hop coverage as the key figure charged (though some official reports initially highlighted a 20-year-old passenger named Kamrein Daevon Mcclay facing similar charges), was taken into custody and transported to the Zavala County Jail. He faced charges of possession of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Local coverage, including from News 4 San Antonio (a FOX affiliate), noted the routine nature of the stop that escalated due to the odor and subsequent discoveries.
While in custody, viral clips circulated online showing P Yungin speaking from jail. In the footage, he appeared emotional and reportedly told supporters he would “be home soon,” while referencing his situation and engaging with NBA YoungBoy tracks.
The artist, who has been building momentum independently after his time with the label, spent only a short time behind bars. Multiple hip-hop outlets, confirmed by April 3, 2026, that P Yungin had been released from custody. Social media posts on Instagram, Threads and X celebrated the news with captions such as “P Yungin is a FREE man,” accompanied by lock emojis.
Following his release, P Yungin himself took to Instagram, where he posted videos and photos with the caption: “I’m back 💰.”
Details regarding the exact bond amount or any conditions of release have not been publicly disclosed. The charges remain pending, and the case could still result in court appearances, potential plea deals, fines or probation, depending on factors such as priors and further proceedings. In Texas, outcomes for such lower-level drug and firearm cases can vary based on the circumstances.
This marks another legal incident involving an artist in the extended NBA YoungBoy circle, though P Yungin’s situation appears relatively minor compared to higher-profile cases. As of April 4, 2026, he is out of jail and back in circulation, with fans sharing post-release clips of him rapping.
Official court documents and full police reports have not yet been widely released, so additional details could emerge in the coming days.
This is a developing story.
