Sauce Walka and a few other members of The Sauce Factory were earlier arrested on charges linked to the YSL RICO case and were released in December 2022. Two members, Robert Thomas and Josue Rodriguez were charged with intent to supply meth and were supposed to be sentenced to life imprisonment. They would also be fined $10 million if found guilty.

Thomas was also charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm, which was a device manufactured and intended to convert a semi-automatic pistol into a fully automatic pistol, also known as a Glock auto switch.

Sergio Giavanni Kitchens, aka Gunna, was also involved in the case. Another member, Keith Moore, was accused of heroin possession and intending to supply it.

Gunna and Young Thug were arrested in 2022 and they were charged with violation of the RICO Act and participation in criminal street gang activity. There were 26 others from Young Slime Life who were accused of similar charges and the accusations stemmed from incidents that took place between January 24, 2013, and May 8, 2022.

The RICO Act was enacted in 1970 and was initially used to eliminate Mafia and others who were involved in organized crime, but the use became more widespread in the future.

Gunna's fans reacted to Walka's arrest on social media as the latter mocked the YSL gang and Gunna two days before the arrest. FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge James Smith revealed at the time that a total of 14 men were detained.
