\">\n\tThe charges stem from a Feb. 27 traffic stop in Pompano Beach, Fla., according to <em>NBC6<\/em>, which viewed the arrest affidavit that claims Kodak \u201cdid have knowledge that he had been ordered to stop such vehicle by a duly authorized law enforcement officer, stopped in knowing compliance with such order, and proceeded to flee from deputies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOf the Feb. 27 incident, the report states that officers spotted Kodak in a pink Jeep Grand Cherokee and alleged he was stopped and holding up traffic. The \u201cSuper Gremlin\u201d rapper then began driving and was eventually pulled over by the officers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe situation took a turn when an SUV and a minivan pulled up next to the traffic stop, and multiple armed men, allegedly Kodak\u2019s security guards, hopped out. That\u2019s when Kodak got back in his Jeep and drove off, according to deputies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOfficers said Kodak was wearing a San Antonio Spurs jersey at the time of the traffic stop, which matched the wardrobe he was wearing in a post on social media earlier on Feb. 27.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe same pink Jeep Cherokee was allegedly pulled over again hours later, though it was then being driven by another individual. Officers found 16 grams of Oxycodone, three grams of cannabis, more than $26,000 in cash and prized diamond jewelry pieces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Sniper Gang rapper was in court for a hearing on Friday (May 15). \u201cWhen they say everyone was armed, that pulled up, that was his security team. So yes, his security team is armed, they are licensed to carry. It is a Second Amendment state,\u201d Kodak\u2019s attorney, <strong>Bradford M. Cohen<\/strong>, reportedly told the judge. \u201cAnd they all have permits for their firearms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tKodak posted a $3,500 bond and was released on Friday following the hearing. He was ordered not to use any weapons while the case remains active.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe rapper ran into legal trouble earlier in the month when he was arrested in Florida on May 6 on drug trafficking charges. He\u2019s accused of trafficking MDMA, the drug more commonly known as Molly or ecstasy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAt the time of that arrest, Kodak\u2019s attorney Cohen explained in a statement to <em>Billboard<\/em> that it was a \u201ccoordinated surrender\u201d to authorities over a November 2025 incident in which police discovered a bottle of prescription cough syrup while searching a car.\u00a0Cohen claims his client wasn\u2019t in the car at the time, and that there were no fingerprints on the bottle leading back to the rapper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,\u201d Cohen added. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \"><em>Billboard<\/em> has reached out to Cohen for comment on the latest incident.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2HpFicp.png\" alt=\"Billboard VIP Pass\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/business\/legal\/kodak-black-arrested-fleeing-law-enforcement-traffic-stop-1236249509\/&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2235460279-e1778873030332.jpg?w=1024&#8243;] Trending on Billboard Kodak Black has been arrested for the second time in less than a month, as the Florida rapper (born Bill Kapri) was booked into custody Thursday (May 14) on charges of fleeing law enforcement.
