Federal prosecutors allege that Fetty, along with five others, distributed more than 100 kilograms of cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, and crack cocaine across New Jersey and Long Island. The feds claim the drugs were first obtained on the West Coast and were smuggled to the East Coast via USPS vehicles with secret compartments.
As per the conditions of his release, he will be required to wear a GPS monitoring device and submit to random drug testing. He must also surrender his passport and receive approval before traveling.
The indictment, which was filed on Sept. 29, charged Fetty with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances.
