The latest criminal case against rapper Kodak Black was dismissed Tuesday in Broward after a judge granted the defense motion involving a charge of fleeing and eluding law enforcement.
The 29-year-old Pompano Beach native, whose real name is Bill Kapri, won his case in court Tuesday when a judge dismissed the charge.
The allegations date back to February when a Broward Sheriff’s deputy pulled up behind Kapri, who was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee along Northwest 18th Avenue and MLK Jr. Boulevard.
Court documents said the deputy called out to Kapri, saying “what’s going on boss? You good?” and Kapri responded “fine” and drove away from the scene.
“The deputy did not request Kapri’s license, did not request a copy of insurance, did not step away from his patrol vehicle to engage with Kapri or give a lawful order in any meaningful way,” the motion to dismiss said.
Kodak Black has been in an out of custody several times in recent years on drug charges and for violating conditions of pre-trial release.
He has one pending case out of Orange County where he’s accused of drug possession. He has pleaded not guilty and is currently not in custody as that case moves forward.
