Rapper Kodak Black has been arrested in Florida and charged with drug offenses. The arrest came when troopers saw a purple Dodge Durango with window tints that appeared to be darker than legally allowed, and expired registration, Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said in a statement.
When they stopped the vehicle, troopers encountered “a strong odor of raw marijuana coming from the interior of the vehicle,” the statement said. After searching the Durango, troopers found a bag containing 31 white pills, which they later identified as oxycodone, with more than $74,000 cash.
The driver was identified as 25-year-old Bill K. Kapri, who goes by the name Kodak Black. Kapri, whose license was found to be expired more than 30 days ago, was arrested and taken to the Broward County Jail.
This is not the first time Kapri has been arrested. In 2019, he was arrested on weapons and drug charges while trying to enter the US from Canada. Later that year, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to close to four years in prison for knowingly making a false and misleading statement to obtain a firearm unlawfully. Former President Donald Trump revoked his sentence in January 2021.
