Kodak Black has pleaded innocent after getting arrested in Florida. As previously reported by The Shade Room, the 26-year-old rapper was detained in Plantation, Florida, on Wednesday, December 6.
According to The Shade Room, Plantation authorities reportedly found the rapper in his Bentley car earlier this week. The rapper’s vehicle blocked a roadway at the time, and his taillights were on.
When the officer approached the vehicle, they supposedly observed the rapper asleep with the window halfway down. In addition, they noticed the odor of “burned weed” and a cup of alcohol, per XXL
While the officer apparently ran the rapper’s driver’s license info, they observed white powder “falling from the rapper.” It was then determined that the substance was coming from Black’s mouth.
The rapper was arrested and booked into the Broward County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with possession of drug, tampering with evidence, and an “improper stop/stand/park/.”
At the time, it was reported that the rapper’s bail would be revealed after a bond hearing.
Furthermore, it was reported that Black would appear in court on Thursday, December 7.
