Judge Reportedly Issues Arrest Warrant for Kodak Black
Written by SOURCE on February 26, 2023
Kodak Black is wanted by authorities in Florida, TMZ reports.
An arrest warrant was reportedly issued by a Broward County judge on Thursday, February 23 and filed in court on Friday after the rapper allegedly violated the conditions of his bail by failing to show up for a random drug test on Feb. 3. Authorities claim that when he finally did come in on Feb. 8, he tested positive for fentanyl. If he is apprehended, Kodak has been ordered to be kept in custody until his hearing from a previous case involving oxycodone is held.
Kodak was arrested in July of 2022 after police pulled the Back for Everything artist over. Police claimed they discovered 31 oxycodone pills following a search of the vehicle he was in. In response to the arrest, which took place in Ft. Lauderdale and saw him being charged with possession of a controlled substance without prescription and trafficking in oxycodone, Kodak’s attorney Bradford Cohen said that the rapper was legally prescribed the oxycodone that cops seized from the rapper. According to TMZ, Cohen also said that Kodak suffered from “chronic pain” as a result of being shot in Los Angeles in Feb. of 2022. Kodak was eventually released after posting bond. A condition of his release is that he be regularly drug tested.
Complex has reached out to Bradford Cohen for comment. Stay tuned as more information becomes available.
