Kodak Black Arrested On Probation Violation
The Florida rapper is currently in police custody.
Kodak Black was arrested in Broward County, Florida on Tuesday according to the Broward County Sheriff's website. According to the site, he was arrested at the courthouse for a "community control" or parole violation. As noted by DJ Akademiks on Twitter, "Back in August 2016, Kodak Black got 5 years probation for his charges where he was accused of selling drugs, running from cops, [sic] and gun possession."
Kodak was released on bail in December from being held in South Carolina where he is still facing sexual battery charges. Representatives for Kodak Black and the Broward County Sheriff's office were not immediately available for comment.
