In the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) lawsuit against YSL in Fulton County, one of the co-defendants has reached a plea deal.
Derontae Bebee, also known as “Bee” or “B,” has pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including conspiracy to violate the RICO Act, armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, theft by receiving stolen property, violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and participation in criminal street gang activity.
“Do you acknowledge and freely accept this guilty plea this afternoon?” Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville asked Bebee.
Derontae Bebee has accepted a plea deal in the YSL RICO case less than a month before trial.
There are only six defendants remaining before the trial.

“Yes,” Bebee replied.
In exchange for the guilty plea, Bebee has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, he will only serve five years behind bars, with the remaining 10 years on probation. The two years he has already spent in prison will be credited towards his sentence. Had he not accepted the plea deal, he could have faced a life sentence.
“This is an opportunity for a second chance,” said Durante Partridge, Bebee’s attorney. “When he was younger, he made some mistakes that led to his status as a convicted felon. Now, at 23 years old, he still has the chance to turn his life around.”
