After smelling freshly burnt cannabis, the officer searched the vehicles, finding a pink bag that contained what appeared to be MDMA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The affidavit reveals the bag is the same one seen on Black\u2019s Instagram account, along with other paraphernalia, like a pair of scissors and a lighter. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In that case, the judge set his bond at $75,000, a high figure due to his 12 previous felony convictions.

Although authorities said the powder initially tested positive for cocaine, a lab test later revealed it was oxycodone, for which Kapri obtained a prescription.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The arrest was a violation of his probation from an unrelated case, which led to him being locked up in Miami for two months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Kapri was also <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/entertainment-arrests-florida-fort-lauderdale-7d22f86d9489bb45fd09eacce98816bb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">arrested<\/a> in 2022 on charges of trafficking in oxycodone and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
