GloRilla broke her silence on Wednesday about her arrest for marijuana possession following an investigation right into a housebreaking at her Georgia house.
Accompanied by her lawyer Drew Findling, GloRilla informed Channel 2 Action News Reporter Michael silk that, despite the fact that a subsequent probe resulted in a warrant for her arrest, she and her household are the victims.
“I feel like me, and my brother and sister, we were victims in this situation,” Glo stated. “But somehow, they’re trying to paint us out to be suspects, and I just feel like it’s all the way wrong.”
GloRilla was in Indianapolis for NBA All-Star Weekend on July 20 when three armed intruders broke into her residence in the midst of the night time. An unidentified member of the family opened fireplace, scaring away the burglars. A rep for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office stated in a press release to Complex that deputies went to the rapper’s house after receiving “a report of a burglary in progress.”
“It was reported that three suspects had entered the home and were in the process of stealing items when an armed occupant fired at the intruders,” the assertion reads. “The suspects fled the scene, and it does not appear that any of them were struck. No injuries were reported among the home’s occupants.”
“Over $700,000 of items were stolen from her home, and so her brother and sister naturally called the police when this was all going on,” Findling informed Seiden.
Deputies stated they contacted Drug Task Force brokers, and executed a search warrant after detecting “a strong odor consistent with illegal narcotics.”
“A significant amount of marijuana was discovered in plain view inside the master bedroom closet,” the division rep stated.
Being the proprietor of the residence, GloRilla was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of schedule one managed substance. She voluntarily turned herself in two days later, and was launched on $22,260 bond that very same day.
“The most egregious part is that there seems to be no movement whatsoever in this home invasion, but rather, within 24 hours, there were warrants for her arrest for a marijuana possession case,” Findling added. “That’s unconscionable.”
After the fees had been introduced in opposition to GloRilla, Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman maintained that the Glorious rapper is the sufferer.
“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” Freeman stated. “At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.”
Glo’s authorized staff, consisting of Findling and Marissa Goldberg, established in a press release that their shopper was “a victim, not a suspect” within the case.
“When her family members did the right thing and called law enforcement, instead of investigating the violent home invasion and theft at Ms. Woods’ home, they instead sought a search warrant when they spotted what they believed was a small amount of marijuana,” their assertion reads.
