GloRilla arrested on drug charges after burglars invade her Atlanta home
According to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a burglary report around 1:30 a.m. and learned that three intruders had broken into Woods' residence. A family member present at the time fired a weapon at the suspects, who fled without injury. During the investigation, officers reportedly smelled marijuana and called in a drug task force.
After securing a warrant, authorities found a 'significant amount of marijuana' in plain sight inside the master bedroom closet. GloRilla turned herself in on Tuesday and was released the same day on a $22,260 bond. She now faces charges of marijuana possession and possession of a controlled substance.
In a statement on X, the rapper criticized the authorities' actions: 'Instead of focusing on finding the suspects, they focus on some cannabis … Long story short, my house gets home invaded and I'm the only one that gets arrested.'

Her attorneys, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, described the situation as a 'disturbing window' into misplaced law enforcement priorities. They confirmed that valuable jewelry was stolen and emphasized that Woods' relatives were traumatized.
Despite an extensive search, no suspects have been apprehended. The investigation is ongoing, with law enforcement confirming recovery of forensic evidence.
Sheriff Ron Freeman maintained that both the burglary and the drug discovery are being taken seriously, stating, 'We must uphold the law in all aspects of this case.'

Man charged with multiple offences after object thrown onto court during WNBA game
A man arrested after a sex toy was thrown onto the court during a Golden State Valkyries game against the Atlanta Dream has been charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency and criminal trespass. According to the police affidavit, Delbert Carver, aged 23, was taken into custody by College Park, Georgia police on Saturday at 7:42 p.m. and booked into Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro. He was released late Sunday after posting bond, which remains undisclosed. Court records show the case is currently listed as 'pending.' Carver allegedly told officers that he intended the act as a joke, hoping it would go viral. The WNBA declined to comment on the incident but released a statement emphasising safety in arenas. The league stated that any fan who throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected, banned for at least one year in compliance with WNBA Arena Security Standards, and subject to legal action by local authorities. The incident follows a similar disruption during a Chicago Sky game, when another sex toy was thrown onto the court in the third quarter. However, Chicago police confirmed no official report was filed in that case. Delbert Carver now faces significant legal repercussions related to the incident as the case moves toward resolution in Clayton County courts.
