Online jail records show Kodak, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was arrested Thursday on charges of attempting to flee/elude law enforcement and resisting an officer without violence.

According to an arrest affidavit, the charges stem from an incident that occurred on Feb. 27 when Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies said Kodak failed to stop his vehicle for law enforcement and then fled from them.

The affidavit states that on that day, a deputy observed a pink Jeep Grand Cherokee obstructing traffic along Northwest 15th Street near Northwest 18th Drive in Pompano Beach.

Authorities said the SUV was stopped in the roadway, forcing other vehicles to cross into the opposite lane to continue driving.

A deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop after the SUV turned southbound onto Northwest 18th Drive. Investigators said the deputy activated emergency lights and sirens near Northwest 14th Circle, but the vehicle continued driving before eventually stopping near Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

According to the affidavit, the driver, identified as Kodak, exited the SUV and spoke with the deputy. During the stop, authorities said several other individuals arrived in separate vehicles and approached the deputy while he was alone at the scene. One person allegedly claimed to be “security,” while another individual was reportedly seen with a gun visible on his waistband. Deputies said the approaching vehicles blocked traffic and interfered with the stop.

Investigators said that while the deputy was attempting to manage the scene and wait for backup, the rapper got back into the Jeep and suddenly sped away eastbound on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Authorities said the deputy recognized Kodak from prior encounters and public familiarity.

Investigators also noted that the SUV was registered to Kodak and that an Instagram story posted to the rapper’s verified account earlier that day appeared to show him wearing the same clothing described during the traffic stop, including a Spurs basketball jersey, gray beanie and jewelry.

Roughly 10 minutes later, detectives with the Pompano Beach Crime Suppression Team located the same Jeep near the I-95 overpass on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Authorities said the SUV eventually stopped in the parking lot of a business located at 1511 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

According to investigators, a different man — identified as Terrence Henley — exited the driver’s seat and allegedly attempted to walk away while holding the vehicle’s keys. Deputies detained Henley, and a K-9 unit later alerted to the presence of narcotics inside the SUV, the affidavit states.

During a search of the vehicle, detectives reported finding approximately 16 grams of oxycodone, roughly 3 grams of cannabis, $26,490 in cash and several pieces of jewelry, including items bearing the initials “SG,” which investigators associated with Kodak Black’s “Sniper Gang” brand. Authorities also recovered keys to luxury vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce and Bentley, from the SUV’s trunk.

Investigators said Henley’s physical appearance differed significantly from Kodak’s description earlier in the day and argued in the affidavit that the rapper intentionally transferred possession of the vehicle in an effort to evade law enforcement. The affidavit also notes Kodak’s prior Broward County arrests involving narcotics-related charges between 2022 and 2024.

Kodak’s arrest comes a week after he was arrested in central Florida on a drug trafficking charge, stemming from a 2025 investigation.

Kodak was initially being held at the Broward County Main Jail, but he was released Friday afternoon after posting a $3,500 bond.

He did not speak with reporters and used an umbrella to shield himself from cameras as he made his way to an awaiting vehicle with others.

In bond court earlier in the day, the judge ordered that he not possess any firearms, weapons or ammunition as he awaits trial.
