Kodak Black Faces Oxycodone Possession Charges After Initial Cocaine Accusation

Kodak Black’s recent encounter with law enforcement took an unexpected turn as lab test results revealed that the white powder initially thought to be cocaine was, in fact, oxycodone. Despite the initial claim by the arresting officer that the substance tested positive for cocaine, further analysis indicated otherwise, leading to charges of oxycodone possession.

The arresting officer had reported discovering a “white chunky substance” on Kodak Black’s person and vehicle, asserting that it field-tested positive for cocaine. However, the subsequent lab results contradicted this, showing the presence of oxycodone instead. In response to the discrepancy, Kodak Black’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, plans to file a motion for an investigation into the arresting officer, labeling the arrest as a “disgusting abuse of power.”

Cohen criticized the arrest, previously describing it as an “unlawful investigatory stop and arrest.” The confusion between cocaine and oxycodone is unprecedented in Cohen’s experience, stating, “The cop says crack cocaine, and it turned out to be oxycodone. I don’t know how an error like that happens.”

Furthermore, Cohen asserted that Kodak Black holds a prescription for oxycodone, which will be presented in court. The defense plans to challenge the arresting officer’s actions, questioning whether the mistake was due to neglect, incompetence, or falsehood.

Paula McMahon, Broward County State Attorney spokesperson, mentioned that the office would review any evidence presented by the defense. However, McMahon clarified that charges against Kodak Black were filed based on the lab test results, emphasizing that the police arrested him on suspicion of cocaine possession.

As the legal proceedings unfold, the defense and prosecution will likely present their respective cases, and the rapper’s supporters are eager to see how this development will impact the overall outcome. Stay tuned for updates on Kodak Black’s legal situation.
