Rapper Kodak Black, who was pardoned three years ago by Donald Trump, has been arrested in Florida on drugs charges.

Officers said they noticed a strong smell of marijuana from a black Bentley SUV with the 26-year-old asleep at the wheel inside.

According to CBS News, police found a white powder later confirmed to be cocaine when they searched the vehicle.

Black, appeared in court on Thursday and was freed on a $75,000 bond.

The rapper, real name Bill Kapri, was accused of possession of cocaine, tampering with physical evidence and improperly stopping or parking a vehicle.

Which is why most headlines are running "Latest Series of Charges." This charmer is currently awaiting trial on a whole slew of other charges (drugs, trafficking, weapons, driving while, probation violations, and on) - all following a pardon that got him out of jail in 2021. This dude has a problem (which he isn't doing anything to correct) - and the only positive thing you can come up with here is that he doesn't appear to have seriously injured anyone else in this latest series of 'trouble'. ( although that has been a feature of previous charges )
