Kodak Black, a hip-hop recording artist, was arrested in July 2022 after being pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol in a traffic stop. His attorney is now requesting that the drug possession and trafficking case against him be dismissed. The reason? The pills Kodak was accused of having in his possession were actually Tylenol.
This news was reported by TMZ. According to the report, Kodak's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, is accusing the police officers of a cover-up. Kodak was accused of having one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of trafficking oxycodone. Cohen states that the pills confiscated by police officers were allegedly tested, and the results showed that they were simply over-the-counter medication. Cohen also alleges that the police destroyed the pills and never provided a report.
The motion filed by Cohen also accuses the Broward Sheriff’s Office of a massive cover-up. He claims that FBI Special Agent James Mitchell has a bias against Kodak. Furthermore, he accuses the prosecutors of withholding police body cam footage which shows a police officer surveilling Kodak and saying that he was “always ready”. All of this has led Cohen to believe that it was a “coordinated takedown” of Kodak and he is now requesting the case be thrown out.
The incident began when Kodak was pulled over for having an expired registration tag and tinted windows that “appeared darker than the legal limit”, said Lt. Alex Camacho. Police officers said they smelled a strong odor of marijuana from inside the vehicle. After the stop, they discovered a small clear bag that allegedly contained 31 tablets of oxycodone and a total of $74,960 in cash. Kodak was then held at Broward County Jail for the charges.
Thankfully, before President Trump left office, he granted Kodak a pardon. He was serving a sentence of 46 months in prison because of federal weapons charges he received in 2019 which occurred after he admitted to falsifying information on federal forms to buy four firearms.
