The Memphis-born rapper GloRilla- real name Gloria Woods- turned herself in and was booked Tuesday into the Forsyth County jail in the Atlanta area on charges of Felony in Possession of Marijuana and Possession of a Schedule on controlled substance. She was released on a $22,260 bond the same day. The investigation began Saturday, when Forsyth County deputies responded to a burglary in progress at her Atlanta-area home.
GloRilla’s Run-In With the Law
Someone inside the home shot at the suspects, who fled, the Sheriff’s department said. While on scene, deputies detected a strong odor consistent with illegal narcotics, authorities said. They obtained a search warrant and allegedly found a significant amount of marijuana inside a bedroom closet. Meanwhile, GloRilla’s attorney responded to WREG, saying she was victimized by the burglars, who have not been brought to justice. GloRilla said on X that her house was invaded on Saturday while she was performing for the Women’s NBA All-Star Game. GloRilla stated:
“Instead of focusing on finding the suspects, they focus on some cannabis”- GloRilla via X
