Kodak Black’s legal issues don’t seem to end, as he was recently arrested after local authorities found oxycodone pills in his car. According to law enforcement sources, he was driving a Dodge Durango on July 15 in Ft. Lauderdale.
The cops stopped him and searched his car when they smelled marijuana. The police officers reportedly found 31 oxycodone pills and cash worth $74,690. A few sources revealed that the rapper’s license and tags have also expired. According to the latest update, Black’s lawyer spoke to a news outlet and said:
“Never judge a case based on an arrest. There are facts and circumstances that give rise to a defense, especially in this case. We negotiated a bond of $75,000 and we will move forward with resolving the matter quickly.”
Black has been charged with possessing a controlled substance without prescription and oxycodone trafficking.
Details about the oxycodone pills found in Kodak Black’s car
Oxycodone pills are used to cure severe pain that requires opioid treatment and when other pain medicines do not work or can’t be tolerated. The pills work on the central nervous system to relieve pain.
The pills should not be used if someone needs pain medicine for a brief period, including recovery from surgery. It should be avoided to relieve mild pain or in situations where non-narcotic medication works. It should not be used to treat pain that is felt only once.
Oxycodone can cause mental or physical dependence if used for a long time. Meanwhile, those with continuous pain should not let the fear of dependence stop them from using legally prescribed narcotics to cure their pain.
Mental dependence may not occur if narcotics are used for this purpose, and physical reliance could lead to withdrawal side effects if treatment is stopped suddenly. Severe withdrawal side effects can be prevented by decreasing the dose for a brief period of time before stopping the treatment.
