Kodak Black’s Current Legal Issues

Kodak Black was arrested in Plantation, Fla. on Dec. 7, 2023, and charged with cocaine possession and proof tampering after a police officer claimed Yak was attempting to swallow white powder throughout a site visitors cease. He was launched a short while later. The following week, Kodak denied he had cocaine the night time of his arrest throughout an Instagram Live session. Less than per week later, he was taken into federal custody for violating his pre-trail circumstances. An replace within the case got here on Jan. 9, when lab outcomes concluded that the white energy was truly Oxycodone, which the rapper is prescribed to have. The authorities modified the fees to possession of Oxy.

On Jan. 19, Kodak Black’s lawyer Bradford Cohen filed a movement to dismiss the fees.

“This is an abuse of discretion to file a charge on an individual that has provided a valid prescription for the very item that as found,” Cohen stated in a press release to XXL. “All this after the officer misrepresented and said it was cocaine. Clearly it was not cocaine, nothing has happened to the officer who misrepresented the item, and my client was taken into custody due to his misrepresentation.”

The assertion continues: “The fact that this case has not been dismissed by the Broward State Attorney’s Office shows that bias against Mr. Kapri. Anyone else would have had their case dismissed or they wouldn’t have filed. Someone at some point has to recognize that issues that keep coming up with every case filed against Mr. Kapri. Officers’ ‘mistakes,’ agents not disclosing that the original pills were test and came back as Tylenol, a violation for a dirty urine and the lab tech says ‘sorry made a mistake.’ Over and over we see errors that wouldn’t happen with the average defendant. Now, instead of this matter being handled by the regular prosecutor in the division, a simple possession is assigned to a drug trafficking unit. It displays the desire to not seek justice but to punitively and vindictively treat Mr. Kapri different than any other defendant.”

Kodak is at the moment being held on the Federal Detention Center in Miami.
