- Free Kodak!
- Still doesn’t really explain why he had white powder around his mouth, does it?
- Maybe he was just eating some donuts before the cops pulled up.
Kodak Black’s lawyers are moving to have the rapper’s drug charges dismissed.
Kodak was arrested last month on charges of cocaine possession and evidence tampering after cops found him with white powder around his mouth and took him into custody. Kodak denied those charges, particularly using cocaine, calling the allegations “bogus as hell.” Meanwhile, attorney Bradford Cohen has referred to a similar case as being part of a “coordinated takedown” by law enforcement.
Kodak’s lawyers say the charges need to be dropped, noting that lab tests revealed no cocaine, but rather, Oxycodone -- which Kodak has a valid prescription for.
Cohen says, "This is an abuse of discretion to file a charge on an individual that has provided a valid prescription for the very item that as found… All this after the officer misrepresented and said it was cocaine. Clearly it was not cocaine, nothing has happened to the officer who misrepresented the item, and my client was taken into custody due to his misrepresentation… The fact that this case has not been dismissed by the Broward State Attorney's Office shows that bias against Mr. Kapri. Anyone else would have had their case dismissed or they wouldn't have filed."
Kodak remains behind bars while he awaits the judge’s decision. (XXL)
