GloRilla charged with possession after police respond to her home to investigate burglary
Grammy-nominated recording artist GloRilla faces felony drug charges after police responded to her Georgia home following a separate report of a burglary in progress, according to authorities. Police responded to the Forsyth County residence of GloRilla, whose name is Gloria Woods, on Saturday after receiving a report that three suspects had entered the home and 'were in the process of stealing items when an armed occupant fired at the intruders,' Stacie Miller, public information officer for the Forsyth County Sheriff's Department told CNN in a statement Thursday. The suspects fled the scene and no injuries were reported, according to the statement. Detectives from the Major Crimes and Crime Scene Unit responded to the scene, where they 'detected a strong odor consistent with illegal narcotics,' resulting in the Lanier Regional Drug Task Force being called to the residence. After task force agents secured a search warrant for the home, 'a significant amount of marijuana was discovered in plain view inside the master bedroom closet,' the statement read. GloRilla was not present during the burglary, the investigation of which remains ongoing. She was subsequently charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of schedule 1 controlled substance and voluntarily turned herself in to the Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday. The rapper was released the same day after posting bond. CNN has reached out to representatives for GloRilla for comment. 'The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,' said Sheriff Ron Freeman in reference to the burglary. 'At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.' Hailing from Memphis, GloRilla is a rising star among the rap community and is best known for her viral 2022 hit 'F.N.F. (Let's Go),' as well as collaborations with Cardi B on 'Tomorrow 2' and with Megan Thee Stallion on 'Wanna Be.'

Jameson owner Pernod Ricard says it's ‘committed' to Ireland amid global review
France's Pernod Ricard owns Irish Distillers, with Jameson being a leading global seller for the group. It also owns brands such as Absolut and Martell. 'Pernod Ricard announced a reorganisation project aimed at creating a more agile and simplified organisation aligned with our strategic objectives and the current evolution of our business,' said a spokesperson. 'Given that we have just begun this process, we are not in a position to comment any further at this stage,' they said. The spokesperson added: 'Jameson is a strategic brand for Pernod Ricard, and we remain committed to Ireland, the Irish whiskey category and the growth of our whiskey brands on the global stage.' Jameson looks set to retain a leading role in the company's high-profile portfolio. Pernod Ricard told staff this week that it has launched an "internal project to create a more agile and simplified organisation". It had already announced job cuts in China, where steep anti-dumping duties on its Martell cognac label have hit sales hard, as well as a plan to cut €1bn in costs by its 2029 financial year. In a staff memo, chief executive Alexandre Ricard said the project, dubbed 'Tomorrow 2', was intended to "further advance the simplification of our organisation". Mr Ricard told staff in a video that the restructuring, which includes bundling administrative tasks rather than having brands operate individually, would lead to "departures", two sources said. There were no further details about the impact on jobs. In the presentation slides, the company said it would organise its brands into two main units, named Gold and Crystal. ADVERTISEMENT The Gold division would include champagne and brands such as Martell cognac and Jameson, while Crystal will include Havana Club, Absolut vodka and some French aperitif brands. The company plans to implement the changes, including voluntary departures, in the last three months of 2025, the slides showed. "These changes imply the launch of local consultation processes with our social partners and employees where necessary," Pernod Ricard said, without commenting on the number of jobs affected or the plan to group brands into two units. Last month, the master distiller at Pernod Ricard's Irish Distillers unit, Kevin O'Gorman, said a new €250m distillery at Midleton in Co Cork won't now open until 2027. It had been expected to open this year. Last month rival LVMH's wines and spirits division announced plans to shrink its workforce by nearly 13pc. Pernod, Guinness maker Diageo and Remy Cointreau have also had to adjust their growth expectations as the boom in sales enjoyed after the Covid pandemic has gone into reverse. All three companies have scrapped or reduced ambitious sales targets for the coming years. Remy and other rivals, such as Jack Daniel's maker Brown-Forman have also cut jobs. Diageo, the world's largest spirits maker, also plans to cut $500m in costs and make substantial asset disposals by 2028.

Pernod Ricard launches reorganisation plan
Pernod Ricard has launched "an internal project" aimed at creating "a more agile and simplified organisation" at the Olmeca Tequila maker. Reports from Reuters yesterday (18 June) suggested the group was looking to streamline its operations. Internal company presentation slides viewed by the publication reportedly suggested Pernod Ricard plans to group its brands into two main divisions. When asked about its plans, the group told Just Drinks: "At Pernod Ricard, we work on an ongoing basis to adapt our organisation and ways of working to the fast-evolving business environment. "That is why we have announced to all our employees an internal project aimed to create a more agile and simplified organisation aligned with our strategic objectives and the current evolution of our business. "These changes imply the launch of local consultation processes with our social partners and employees where necessary, therefore we cannot comment any further at this stage'. It is unclear how many employees may be affected by the move. According to a staff memo, seen by Reuters, CEO Alexandre Ricard said the project, called Tomorrow 2, looks to "further advance the simplification of our organisation". Two sources also told the publication Ricard informed staff in a video the group's restructuring would bring about "departures". Several major distillers have been facing pressure on sales amid slowing demand in important markets including the US and China. Trade tensions have also weighed on consumer sentiment and shaken supply chains. In May, LVMH's Moët Hennessy also reportedly revealed plans to lay off thousands of its employees. Pernod Ricard's two new business divisions are allegedly called "Gold" and "Crystal", with the former including Champagne, and brands such as Martell Cognac and Jameson whiskey. The latter would feature Havana Club rum, Absolut vodka and French aperitifs. According to Reuters, the changes are expected to be brought into force in the last three months of this year. In its third-quarter results, released in April, Pernod Ricard booked €2.38bn ($2.7bn) in net sales, declining 3% on an organic and reported basis. Nine-month net sales dipped 4% organically and by 3% in reported terms to €8.5bn, hit by a €145m foreign-exchange impact. Volumes in the nine months were up 1%. In Pernod Ricard's third quarter, its net sales in the US were up 2%, although the company said organic net sales were "ahead of sell-out supported by wholesalers' orders ahead of tariff announcements". In China, net sales declined 5% and were down 22% in the first nine months of the financial year. At the time, the group said it was facing a 'macro context' that 'remains challenging'. Speaking after Pernod Ricard reported its third-quarter results, CFO Hélène de Tissot said the company expected China to weigh on its annual performance. 'For the fiscal year '25, the main impact of tariffs is China, which we are completely assessing. That's why we are confirming our ability and our confidence to sustain the operating margin," she said at the time.
