A warrant for Young was issued in December, with the help of the FBI, because of his alleged involvement in a human trafficking operation in Clarkston. According to court documents, women were advertising on websites and offering sex for payments, and Young was reportedly involved in the arrangements. He was arrested in Clarkston.

Young was represented by attorney Randy Reed, and Deputy Prosecutor Jaime Young, no relation, handled the case on behalf of the state.
