Defense attorney Nicole Fegan, who represented defendant Tenquarius Mender in the YSL Rico gang trial, has been arrested on gang-related charges.

Per WSB-TV2, Fegan was taken into custody by Atlanta police on Friday, Feb. 16 following allegations she contacted a suspect in the Sept. 27, 2022 shooting of two men.

“Investigators received information that Nicole Fegan contacted a suspect in the shooting, advising him of active warrants for his arrest,” the Atlanta Police Department wrote in a statement. “Fegan provided information she had learned during a preliminary hearing related to the shooting and advised the suspect to dispose of his phone as police were going to arrest him. Investigators confirmed Fegan was not representing the suspect she called.”

Yeah. She should have gone over not being able to do that at some point in MPRE prep. She’s been charged with participating in criminal street gang activity and criminal solicitation to commit the offense of tampering with evidence. It generally isn’t helpful to get caught up in shoulda coulda woulda after bad things happen, but Fegan really could have benefited from this scene in Breaking Bad:

She’s understandably getting clowned by the internet for getting caught up in this mess:

But she’s not new to this — she has connections to some big names in the Atlanta rap scene:

That’s PeeWee Longway for the uninitiated. Him and Thugger go back too:

Just in case you were wondering, the lyrics from this track wouldn’t do well for either of them if they were introduced as evidence in court. Song still slaps though.

It was a matter of time before Fegan got caught up. This isn’t the only time she’s given non-clients legal advice:

Fine line between good marketing and making it easy for the prosecution:

Hopefully she gets a good lawyer. One with a comparatively diminutive social media presence.
