According to news station WSAV, the "Versace" trio went to court Monday morning for the first time since their Saturday night arrest. Police officials reportedly detained the crew and several members of their entourage during their performance at Georgia Southern University when officials claimed to have "detected a very potent smell of marijuana" coming from the two vans in which the group was traveling arrived at the venue.
"As Migos went inside Hanner to perform, Suppression Team investigators contacted the drivers of both vehicles. Anderson said the subsequent investigation led to the discovery of marijuana, a separate Schedule II drug and multiple firearms in the vehicles. Anderson said these discoveries were especially concerning as the drugs and firearms were brought to a university-sponsored event where more than a thousand students were congregated. By state law, no firearms are allowed on university system campuses."
As reported by Uproxx, fifteen people were arrested in total including all three group members. Each member was reportedly charged with "possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, possession of marijuana, possession of a firearm in a school safety zone and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime."

Prior to their performance, local officials questioned the school's decision to move forward with a Migos concert, considering the violence often associated with the group. Most recently, six people were stabbed during an altercation at a performance in Albany, New York.
Georgia Southern responded in a statement saying that the concert was a student-led event where students were allowed to vote on which acts would be invited to perform. The school indicated that "students overwhelmingly chose Migos."
