From NBC News:
Rapper Kodak Black was arrested on charges of cocaine possession in Plantation, Florida, on Thursday, according to court documents.
The musician, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was also charged with tampering with evidence as well as probation violation and improper stop or park.
Kapri, 26, was allegedly seen early Thursday morning parked in a roadway by a Broward County officer, who said he was obstructing the path.
The officer approached the vehicle and found Kapri alone in the car, asleep. The officer said he “smelled a strong odor of burnt cannabis” in the car and found a styrofoam cup in the door handle that smelled like alcohol, as well as cannabis wrapping paper and suspected cannabis residue, per the court document.
Kapri was advised to exit his car by the officer, who, when reviewing the rapper’s driver’s license and car registration, allegedly “noticed white powder falling from his person.”
The officer exited his car and allegedly saw Kapri’s mouth “full of white powder,” making him believe the rapper was “trying to discard illegal narcotics.”
After placing Kapri in handcuffs, the officer saw “white rock like substances on the ground” that the rapper told him was Percocet, according to court documents.
The white substance was positively identified as cocaine on the scene and weighed at 4.1 grams, according to court documents.
Kapri was arrested and released later that day on $5,000 bond.
