Island Boys Franky Venegas Arrested 3 Years After SWAT Team Raid For Murder Suspect
Controversial Hip-hop star Franky Venegas, one-half of the rap duo Island Boys, has added two new crimes to his infamous record. The rapper recently found himself behind bars for allegedly breaking the law with drug and gun violations. Franky is no stranger to posing for mug shots and now has three unique pictures capturing his time in police custody. The Island Boys, twin brothers Alex and Franky Venegas, rose to fame as TikTok influencers in 2021 with their viral hit song, "I'm an Island Boy." However, fame did not stop their troubles with the law, as Franky's recent arrest comes three years after a SWAT team raided the duo's Florida home in search of a murder suspect. According to new reports, Franky was booked into the Collier County Jail in Naples after getting arrested for alleged gun and drug offenses. He was charged with possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and to deliver, possess, or sell an altered firearm. A detailed report about his encounter with the law has not been revealed; however, TMZ obtained Franky's recent mugshot. The picture captured the rapper with his signature tattoos all over his face. Additionally, he rocked the unique wicks hairstyle signature to the Island Boys and flaunted his lavish grillz. Franky flashed a complete set of silver grillz in 2024 when he posed for a mugshot at the Broward County Jail. He was arrested in Fort Lauderdale on three charges: operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, false ID provided to a law enforcement officer, and reckless driving. A year before Franky was booked on driving-related offenses in Florida, he was apprehended by authorities for allegedly slapping his girlfriend and pushing her into a pool at their Airbnb in Pompano Beach. At the time, Franky's lover told cops that he assaulted her after she threatened to break up with him over his abusive behavior. Following the physical altercation, she was taken to a local hospital and treated for injuries to her chin, legs, and arms. Franky was initially booked for battery, but the case was later dismissed. Unlike his 2024 and 2025 mugshots, the rapper did not flaunt his grillz for the camera, nor did he rock his wick hairstyle. The battery incident came a year after Franky and his twin brother made waves for a SWAT raid. In 2022, The Blast covered the dramatic search for a murder suspect within the Island Boys' Florida home. Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department descended on Franky and Alex's rental property with a search warrant for a man named Andrew James Thomas. The suspect faced first-degree murder with firearm charges after an 8-year-old girl was killed during a drive-by shooting. Further investigations revealed Thomas was a childhood friend of the rap duo and might have been hiding in their home, hence the raid. Authorities were right on the money as SWAT team members found Thomas hiding in Alex and Franky's home. However, the brothers denied intentionally covering for him. They claimed they did not know about his crimes when he sought refuge in their home a few nights before the raid. According to the police report, Franky's twin did not withhold information from cops following the raid. He recalled the suspect ran towards him in a hallway of the house while carrying a black handgun with an extended magazine. The encounter allegedly occurred after SWAT team members entered the premises. Additionally, Alex told officers that Thomas ran into the laundry room with the gun but returned without it. Thanks to his information, cops found the weapon inside the laundry room closet, and the suspect was taken into custody on several charges related to the drive-by shooting. Franky and Alex's manager further reiterated their innocence in a statement, saying: "We had no idea any of this was going on, really. We just knew him as a quiet kid, and he would come and hang out and do his thing and go back to whatever he got going on, but we had no clue about any of these allegations toward him." According to the rap duo's manager, Alex cried after discovering Thomas' crimes. He noted the brothers would never have opened their door to the murder suspect if they knew what he had been running from. Nonetheless, Franky and his twin were no strangers to being on the wrong side of the law. The brothers once opened up about their dark childhood, revealing they did drugs as teenagers, including Percocet, forcing one of them to be hospitalized three times. Additionally, they have racked up charges of burglary, robbery, grand theft auto, and more. Fortunately, Franky and Alex's infamous rap sheet did not increase with charges related to the murder of 8-year-old Ronziyah' Biggs' Atkins. The little girl had been playing outside with her siblings and cousins when she was hit during the tragic drive-by shooting. Will Franky Venegas escape his latest run-in with the law?
