Kodak Black released after arrest at border on suspicion of drugs, gun possession

Update 8:04 a.m. EDT April 19: Kodak Black was released from jail Thursday afternoon, People magazine reported. The rapper used a stack of cash, fanned out, to hide his face from cameras and fans as he left the jail, WKBW reported.

A court date has been scheduled for next month, CNN reported.

Original report: The Blast reported the 21-year-old rapper, whose real name is Bill K. Kapri, was arrested at the U.S.-Canada border while crossing the Queenston–Lewiston Bridge.

TMZ reported that, according to unnamed law enforcement sources, the rapper was driving a Cadillac Escalade and authorities found marijuana on him, as well as a Glock 9mm pistol that was not declared by Black or anyone else in the vehicle. Another vehicle, a Porsche, with three individuals inside was also traveling with the rapper. There were weapons and marijuana found in that car, according to TMZ.

Those specifics have been confirmed by officials in a New York State Police news release.
