Upcoming South Florida rapper Kodak Black was arrested on Thursday in Hallandale Beach, and new details have become available about the incident.
18-year old Kodak Black, whose real name is Dieuson Octave, and a passenger were parked at a building known for drug dealing just before 12:30 p.m. Thursday, according to Hallandale Police.
Police say Kodak Black's passenger, Wisdom Williams, handed cash to two males and in exchange, he received a large bag "with a green, leafy substance" which later positively tested for marijuana.
As officers approached the car, they say Kodak Black revved up his engine and drove off. Police were in pursuit of the vehicle with their sirens on, and say Kodak Black refused to pull over and ran a red light while going 60 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone.
The chase ended, but police later caught up with Kodak Black and Williams parked in front of a house in the 2000 block of Jackson Street in Hollywood.
According to police, Kodak Black threw what appeared to be a black gun into the dumpster. Police later recovered the loaded and fully functional glock 23 .40 caliber pistol from that same dumpster.
According to the report, the two men refused to cooperate with police and were later taken to headquarters for further questioning. It was then that police discovered Kodak Black is a convicted felon who previously pleaded guilty to attempted robbery with a weapon back in 2012.
Kodak Black was then charged with weapon or ammunition possession by a convicted felon, in addition to marijuana possession, several traffic violations and eluding an officer.
He was ordered to be held on more than $5,000 bond which he later posted and was released.
