GloRilla is arrested for felony drug possession in Georgia... a year after her DUI
Rapper Glorilla was arrested in Georgia earlier this week for drug possession. The 25-year-old Memphis-bred music artist was taken into custody in Forsyth County and booked on two counts: possession of a scheduled controlled substance and possession of marijuana over one ounce. According to a TMZ report, the TGIF hitmaker — who sparked dating rumors with an NFL star in June — was released on the same day after posting $22,000 bond. Both counts are felony offenses under Georgia law. The outlet noted that other details around the arrest are unknown at this time. It comes a little over a year after the star, real name Gloria Woods, was arrested in Georgia's Gwinnett County on DUI charges. At the time, the entertainer had been arrested in Suwanee, Georgia for suspicion of driving under the influence and consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container. She was pulled over by authorities at 4:00 a.m. ET after they saw a vehicle make a U-turn at a red traffic light, according to police. (She also faced a separate traffic charge, police said.) The Yeah Glo! performer told police that she had drinks earlier in the night, police said in their report, noting that her vehicle smelled like alcohol and marijuana. GloRilla performed poorly on a field sobriety test officers conducted with her, authorities said. Police said that GloRilla, who's been linked to NBA star Damian Lillard, was unable to follow a target with her eyes, walk steadily, and balance on one leg. The F.N.F. (Let's Go) rapper declined to take a breathalyzer test, police said, at which point she was taken into custody. GloRilla had an associate retrieve her vehicle from the scene, authorities said. Earlier this year she hit the road in March and April for her Glorious Tour, which had stops stretching from the east to west coasts. Last month football star Xavier Legette appeared in a racy music video for her single Typa, sparking dating rumors. GloRilla made headlines in 2023 after three people died in a stampede at her March 5, 2023 concert in Rochester, New York at the Rochester Main Street Armory. 'I am devastated & heartbroken over the tragic deaths that happened after Sunday's show,' she wrote online in the wake of the tragedy. 'My fans mean the world to me. 'Praying for their families & for a speedy recovery of everyone affected,' she added.

Middletown arrest made in motor vehicle crash that involved stolen motorcycle out of Wall
MIDDLETOWN ― A man on a stolen motorcycle who is accused of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash on Monday has been apprehended, according to township Police Chief R. Craig Weber. Michael Crupi, 48, of Parsippany, is charged with receiving a stolen motor vehicle, obstruction, resisting arrest, possession of suspected crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of burglar's tools, unlawful possession of a knife, credit card theft, possession of false documents, driving while intoxicated, being an unlicensed driver, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to report an accident and several other motor vehicle violations, police said. About 12:45 p.m. Monday, July 21, Middletown Police responded to the scene of an accident involving two cars and one motorcycle in the area of Route 35 and Cherry Tree Farm Road, Weber said in a statement. When officers arrived, they learned that the motorcycle fled the area immediately after the crash, Weber said. Patrolman Salvatore Albanese then located the motorcycle and its operator in the area of Wilson Avenue and Route 36, the chief said. As Albanese approached the operator ― later identified as Crupi ― he ran from the scene, the statement said. After a brief foot chase, Albanese and Detetective Lt. Brian McGrogan apprehended the suspect. The motorcycle had been previously reported stolen out of Wall Township, Weber said. Crupi was processed and taken to the Monmouth County Jail in Freehold Township, where he remained on Wednesday evening.

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine pleads guilty to a drug possession charge
Rapper Daniel Hernandez, known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, is escorted by police as he arrives for a court hearing at the Palace of Justice, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on Jan. 25, 2024. (AP Photo/Ricardo Hernandez, File) NEW YORK — Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine pleaded guilty Wednesday to drug possession in violation of his supervised release, marking his latest run-in with the law since he completed a federal prison sentence on racketeering and conspiracy charges. The 29-year-old performer, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, told a Manhattan federal judge that his home in Miami was raided on March 12 and that 'residual' cocaine and MDMA — the party drug known as Molly or ecstasy — were found in his bedroom cabinet. In exchange for his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop two other counts he faced stemming from the incident. The Brooklyn rapper, who shot to fame with the 2017 release of his song 'Gummo,' will be sentenced Sept. 25. He doesn't face any state charges related to the raid, but U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer warned him that the 'consequences will be severe' if he violates any of the conditions of his release before he is sentenced. Federal sentencing guidelines call for between three and nine months in prison for each count, but Hernandez could face up to five years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release, the judge added. The rapper, who was dressed in a black hoodie and who wasn't sporting his trademark colorful hairstyle, declined to comment as he left the courthouse. Hernandez pleaded guilty in 2018 to his involvement with a violent New York-based gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He was handed a lenient sentence of two years in prison in 2019 followed by five years of supervised release for his cooperation in the prosecution of other gang members. He was even released from federal prison several months early during the height of COVID-19 pandemic. But last November, Hernandez was found in violation of his probation for failing to show up for drug tests, traveling to Las Vegas from his Florida home without permission and lying to his probation officer. At the time, Engelmayer sentenced him to another 45 days in federal custody, saying the infractions showed a lack of respect for the law. Philip Marcelo, The Associated Press
