According to the police report, officers approached Kodak’s Bentley when it was seen to be parked on the roadway. When they approached the vehicle, they claimed they could smell alcohol and upon searching the car found cannabis rolling paper, cannabis residue and white powder.
They also claimed that Kodak’s mouth was full of white powder.
In a separate incident in July 2022, Kodak Black was charged with drug trafficking after authorities found 31 pills alleged to be oxycodone in his possession along with more than $70,000 in cash.
He has since claimed through his lawyer that he is the victim of a police cover-up. In a motion to dismiss the case, the rapper claims that the oxycodone he was accused of possessing and trafficking was just Tylenol that had been obtained over the counter.
