Kodak Black Turned Himself In For Failed Court Appearance For Random Drug And Alcohol Test

Florida-born Rapper Kodak Black (born Bill Kapri) reportedly turned himself in to police after the Broward County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for his arrest due to his failure to submit to a random drug test.

According to court documents obtained by Sis2Sis, the court arranged for the “No Flockin'” rapper to submit to a random drug and alcohol test on June 9, 2023, as part of his pretrial release terms. 

But, according to an affidavit filed on June 13 by Pretrial Services Specialist Lisa White, the rapper never showed. 

After turning himself in and being sent to jail, Kodak Balck was released an hour later on a $250,000 bail.

Kodak’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, explained to TMZ that his client’s pretrial release conditions were stringent and strenuous on the rapper, which he complained about recently during an Instagram Live video that caused fans to worry about his wellbeing.

Cohen fought for his client in the courtroom and got the judge to agree to remove the pretrial supervision, but not without the judge increasing the bail amount from $75,000 to $250,000. Due to this, Kodak had to be jailed again and released on new bail — he paid the difference between the new and old bond, $175,000.

Sis2Sis reported Kodak Black was arrested in Fort Lauderdale last year. Broward police pulled the rapper over for tinted windows and “smelled a strong odor of marijuana,” leading police to search the purple Dodge Durango and find 31 tabs of oxycodone. They also discovered he was driving with an expired license (more than six months).

They charged him with trafficking oxycodone (14-25 grams), expired DL of more than six months and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.

Turning himself in wasn’t the only reason he was in Broward County. The rapper hosted a concert in Pompano Beach at the amphitheater Monday night.

Kodak Black also faced a gun charge in 2021 for lying on his application form to purchase a firearm. He was sentenced to 46 months behind bars but only served half of his sentence due to former President Donald Trump pardoning the rest before President Joe Biden took office.
