This week, rapper GloRilla faced arrest on felony drug charges after police discovered “a significant amount of marijuana” while investigating a burglary at her Atlanta residence.

Also known by her real name, Gloria Woods, GloRilla turned herself in on Tuesday and secured her release the same day by posting a $22,260 bond, as stated by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a burglary report at her home around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. At the time, Woods was not home as she had performed at the WNBA All-Star Game’s halftime show on Saturday in Indianapolis.

Three suspects entered the home and were stealing items when an occupant of the house fired a weapon at the intruders. The suspects fled the scene and did not appear to have been injured, according to the sheriff’s office.

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 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 jewelry” when they realized the home wasn’t vacant.

Woods had family staying at her home who “were traumatized” 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.”
