Kodak Black Arrested Again Weeks After Drug Trafficking Case, Booked on Fleeing Law Enforcement Charge

Kodak Black was arrested again on Thursday, May 14, this time on a charge of fleeing law enforcement, less than a month after he was booked in Florida on drug trafficking allegations.

The Florida rapper, born Bill Kapri, was also charged with resisting or obstructing without violence, a misdemeanor, according to Broward County Clerk of Courts jail records. The fleeing charge is a third-degree felony.

The case stems from a February 27 traffic stop in Pompano Beach, Fla., according to NBC6, which reviewed the arrest affidavit. That document says Kodak “did 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.”

Officers reportedly first spotted Kodak in a pink Jeep Grand Cherokee and said he was stopped and blocking traffic before he began driving again and was pulled over. The stop escalated when an SUV and a minivan arrived nearby, and several armed men, described by deputies as Kodak’s security guards, got out. Police said Kodak then got back into the Jeep and drove off.

Officers also said the rapper was wearing a San Antonio Spurs jersey during the stop, the same outfit he had on in a social media post earlier that day. Hours later, the same pink Jeep Cherokee was allegedly stopped again, though another person was driving it by then. Police said they found 16 grams of Oxycodone, three grams of cannabis, more than $26,000 in cash and diamond jewelry inside.

Kodak appeared in court for a hearing on Friday, May 15. His attorney, Bradford M. Cohen, told the judge: “When 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. And they all have permits for their firearms.”

The rapper posted a $3,500 bond and was released Friday after the hearing. He was ordered not to use any weapons while the case remains active.

This latest arrest comes just days after Kodak was booked in Florida on May 6 on drug trafficking charges. He is accused of trafficking MDMA, better known as Molly or ecstasy.

At the time, Cohen said in a statement to Billboard that the arrest was a “coordinated surrender” tied to a November 2025 incident, when police found a bottle of prescription cough syrup during a car search. Cohen said his client was not in the vehicle at the time and that no fingerprints on the bottle tied it to him.

“We look forward to yet another fruitful resolution to another case that should have never been filed,” Cohen added.

Billboard has reached out to Cohen for comment on the latest incident.
