Kodak Black Found Guilty of Five Counts of House Arrest Violation
He could get a maximum of eight years of jail time.
Earlier today, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida judge allegedly found Kodak Black guilty of five counts of violating his house arrest. Judge Thomas M. Lynch made the ruling; prosecutors are looking to give the rapper a maximum of eight years of incarceration for the violation. Last August Kodak went on probation after facing several serious charges. With one year of house arrest and five years probation, the Healthy Kid was allowed to leave home only for work purposes.
Today’s hearing revolved around allegations by a Club Lexx bartender named Jennifer Cunningham, who claimed Kodak had assaulted her while he was there in February. Although he was ultimately found not guilty of the battery charges, he was found guilty for going to a strip club without approval from his PO. It’s not known whether the ruling contribute to Kodak’s jail time; Kodak will return to the courtroom for the follow-up hearing on May 4.
