AceShowbiz - Kodak Black was taken into custody in Florida on charges related to resisting and eluding law enforcement officers, according to official records from the Broward County Sheriff's Office. The incident led to the rapper being booked in his hometown of Pompano Beach on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

Kodak Black faces two specific charges: resisting an officer without violence and attempting to flee or elude police. Following his arrest, he was held in the Broward County Jail, awaiting further legal proceedings.

His attorney, Bradford Cohen, confirmed to TMZ that Kodak Black voluntarily surrendered to authorities. Cohen described the arrest as part of a recurring pattern, stating, "This is a self-surrender from yet another 'investigation' that just happened to also take five months to 'investigate' for allegedly fleeing and eluding." He added that these delays and charges are typical and often lead to weak arrests that take months to surface.

Currently, Kodak Black is out on a $75,000 bond following a recent arrest related to drug trafficking. That case involved a search of a vehicle where law enforcement discovered a bag containing MDMA, which authorities connected to the rapper. He surrendered himself in Orange County, Florida, and was released the next day.

Attorney Cohen has publicly challenged the drug trafficking charge as well. In a statement to XXL, he said, "This is a case that legally is not sufficient to charge possession of the item. Then, instead of simple possession, they doubled down and filed it as a trafficking charge. I will be fighting the charge."

Regarding the resisting and eluding charges, an update on May 15, 2026, provided additional details from Kodak Black's legal team. His attorney released a statement emphasizing that the case dates back over five months and that Kodak Black proactively surrendered to law enforcement. The statement criticized the law enforcement agencies for prolonged investigations that culminate in warrants issued months after the initial incidents.

The statement also highlighted a history of allegations against Kodak Black that were later disproven. Examples include a case where he was accused of submitting a dirty urine sample which turned out to be a mix-up with the wrong sample. Other accusations involved illicit drugs that tested as aspirin or prescription medication after lab testing, contradicting initial field tests.

Additionally, the statement noted the judge's refusal to accept the State Attorney's Office request for an electronic monitor, a $50,000 bond, and a no-driving order on the misdemeanor and third-degree felony charges. The judge instead set the bond at $3,500 and denied bond increases, suggesting skepticism toward the prosecution's arguments.

These recent legal challenges add to an ongoing narrative of frequent charges against Kodak Black that his team argues are part of a pattern of targeting by law enforcement. Despite the serious nature of the allegations, many of the cases have reportedly been dismissed, downgraded, or thrown out by the courts.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office and Kodak Black's legal representatives have been contacted for comment but have not provided further statements at this time.

This arrest marks another chapter in the rapper's legal struggles, coming shortly after the high-profile drug trafficking allegation. As the legal process unfolds, Kodak Black and his legal team are expected to continue contesting the charges vigorously.

Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available regarding the status of these cases and any forthcoming court dates.
