GloRilla’s attorney, Drew Findling, has issued an official statement after the rapper was arrested on felony drug charges in Georgia and released on bond.
GloRilla reportedly turned herself in after police issued a warrant stemming from an incident at her Georgia residence.
Cops initially responded to what they believed was a home invasion. According to the police report, officers arrived on the scene after getting a call about a burglary in progress. They say three suspects had broken into the home, and one of the occupants inside opened fire.
“The suspects fled the scene, and it does not appear that any of them were struck,” police said in a statement.
While combing through the residence during the investigation, authorities claimed they stumbled upon a “significant amount of marijuana” in a bedroom closet, along with a controlled substance. That discovery prompted a call to the Lanier Regional Drug Task Force.
“The arrest of Gloria Woods is a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become,” Findling’s statement to XXL read. “Ms. Woods was out of town when her residence became a target for a group of home invaders who most likely knew she wasn’t there. What they didn’t know was that she had family staying with her who were traumatized by the violent entrance of this group, who grabbed high-value jewelry before taking off once they realized the home wasn’t vacant.
“When her family members did the right thing and called law enforcement, instead of investigating the violent home invasion and theft at Ms. Woods’ home, they instead sought a search warrant when they spotted what they believed was a small amount of marijuana. Law enforcement then sought arrest warrants for her even though she hadn’t been at her home for some time. No arrest warrants have been issued for the violent home invaders. Ms. Woods is a victim, not a suspect. This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable.”
GloRilla was booked on charges of felony possession of marijuana and possession of a Schedule I controlled substance and was later released after posting a $22,260 bond.
