Rapper arrested after burglars invaded her home
Share this @internewscast.com
US rapper GloRilla faced arrest this week on felony drug allegations after police uncovered “a significant amount of marijuana” while probing a burglary at her Atlanta residence.

GloRilla, whose legal name is Gloria Woods, willingly surrendered to authorities on Tuesday and was later freed on a bond of US$22,260 ($33,777) that same day, as stated by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to the artist’s home around 1.30 am on Sunday following burglary reports. Woods was absent, having performed at the WNBA All-Star Game during halftime the previous Saturday in Indianapolis.

During the incident, three suspects broke into the residence, robbing it, but were shot at by an occupant. The suspects escaped uninjured, according to information provided by the sheriff’s department.

A drug task force secured a search warrant for the home after deputies noticed a “strong odor consistent with illegal narcotics” while investigating the burglary. The task force discovered marijuana “in plain view inside the master bedroom closet,” according to a statement from the sheriff’s office.

Woods was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance.

“Instead of Focusing on finding the Suspects, they focus on some cannabis,” Woods wrote on X.

“Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im (sic) the only one that gets arrested.”

The suspects weren’t located, “despite an extensive search,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement sent to The Associated Press. The investigation into the burglary is ongoing and detectives recovered physical and trace forensic evidence believed to belong to the suspects, the office wrote.

Woods’ attorneys, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, wrote in a statement the suspects took off with “high value jewellery” when they realised the home wasn’t vacant.

Woods had family staying at her home who “were traumatised” by the incident, her lawyers wrote.

“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” Sheriff Ron Freeman wrote.

“At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.”

Woods’ attorneys said that her arrest is “a disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become.”

“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,” Findling and Goldberg wrote.

“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.”
