An Alabama rapper was arrested in Atlanta after allegedly throwing $250,000 worth of methamphetamine off an apartment balcony.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, drug and gang agents were executing a search warrant at an Atlanta residence last week when 37-year-old Kelvin James Dark threw close to six kilos of meth out of the apartment’s high rise window. After sweeping the interior, the police safely recovered the drugs from a nearby street. Per the Associated Press, the GBI was investigating the rapper—who goes by the name “K Digga” and “Mr. Alabama”—for his alleged involvement in a drug-smuggling ring. Authorities claim that Dark aided in transporting contraband on domestic and international flights.
While Dark was focused on getting rid of the meth, he forgot to trash all of the other illegal items stashed in the apartment. During the search, authorities recovered two semi-automatic rifles and a stolen handgun. There was also over 13 pounds of weed and “substantial amount” of money left in the residence. Dark is now being charged with trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking marijuana, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Arrested alongside the rapper was 33-year-old Tiffany Peterson. Peterson is facing charges of trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking marijuana, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
