Rapper Kodak Black was arrested on Thursday in Pompano Beach, marking his second arrest this month as his legal troubles continue to mount in Florida. According to Broward County jail records, the artist, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was taken into custody by Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and booked into the main jail facility.
The specific charges filed against him include fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement, as well as resisting an officer without violence. While the circumstances of the police encounter have not yet been fully detailed, the arrest has drawn significant attention due to the rapper’s ongoing legal battles across the state.
The Broward County incident follows closely on the heels of a separate legal proceeding in Orange County involving felony drug charges. Just last week, Kapri entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of trafficking MDMA, a synthetic drug commonly known as ecstasy or molly. That specific case stems from a police encounter in Orlando that took place last November, where officers conducted a vehicle search that yielded significant evidence.
During that search, authorities discovered $37,000 in cash, personal documents bearing the rapper’s name, and a pink bag containing the illicit substance.

Investigators noted that the pink bag found during the Orlando vehicle search appeared to match one featured in a photograph previously posted to Kapri’s official Instagram account. This discovery formed a central part of the prosecution’s case in Orange County, leading to the trafficking charge he is currently fighting in court.
These dual legal fronts represent a challenging period for the artist, who has navigated a series of high-profile run-ins with the law over the past several years. His history includes various drug-related charges and a federal prison sentence that was famously commuted by the president in 2021.
Local authorities from the Broward Sheriff’s Office have been contacted for additional details regarding the specific events that led to the chase and subsequent arrest on Thursday. As of now, it remains unclear if these new charges will impact his standing in the Orange County trafficking case or any existing probation agreements.
The rapper remains a highly influential but controversial figure in the music industry, frequently making headlines for both his artistic output and his persistent judicial complications. Fans and legal analysts alike are closely watching how these latest developments in South Florida will influence his long-term legal trajectory.
