Kodak Black just made a short pit stop at a Florida jail. The Pompano Beach native was booked on Monday, June 26 after an arrest warrant was issued for the rapper earlier this month because he failed to take a mandatory drug test.
Kodak’s lawyer Bradford Cohen confirms to TMZ that the 26-year-old surrendered himself to authorities on Monday, but he was released after only an hour. His lawyer argued in court that he’s been on a tight leash during his pretrial release for his prescription drug case. The terms of his release required him to regularly check in with authorities and take mandatory urine tests.
Bradford asked the judge to get rid of the stringent pretrial supervision, which the judge agreed. The judge, however, increased his bond from $75,000 to $250,000 and this is why Kodak had to go through the booking process again at the jail.
The “Zeze” spitter posed for a new mugshot at the Broward County jail. He was in and out of jail in under an hour after paying $175k, the difference between his original bond and his new bond. Bradford saw this as a win for his client because the hip-hop star now will be able to travel and tour without the trouble of checking in with pretrial services.
In a video shared on Twitter, Kodak remained mum as he was escorted by security to his car following his arrest. He was wearing a light blue hoodie and a face mask as he was keeping his head down while cameras were filming him.
Kodak was previously arrested in July 2022 for possession of a controlled substance without prescription and trafficking. At that time, cops claimed they found upwards of 31 oxycodone pills in his car in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He was released from prison after posting a $75,000 bail.
He was supposed to take a drug test on June 9, but missed it. He also missed a drug test on February 3 and later tested positive on February 8.
On Sunday night, prior to turning himself in, Kodak went on Instagram Live and complained about his situation.
