It looks like Kodak Black’s legal troubles aren’t over as he was recently taken into custody when police discovered oxycodone pills in his vehicle. On July 15, he was driving a Dodge Durango in Ft. Lauderdale, according to law enforcement officials. When officers smelled marijuana, they pulled him over and searched his vehicle. Officers allegedly found 31 oxycodone pills and $74,690 in cash. According to some reports, the rapper’s license and tags have also expired. According to the latest report, Black’s attorney told one news outlet:
“Never make a decision based on an arrest.” There are facts and circumstances that favor the defense, especially in this situation. We have secured a $75,000 bond and want to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.”
Black was charged with illegal possession of a controlled drug and trafficking in oxycodone.

Details of oxycodone pills discovered in Kodak Black’s vehicle
When other pain medications do not work or are not tolerated, oxycodone tablets are used to treat severe pain that requires opioid therapy. Medicines reduce pain by acting on the central nervous system. Tablets should not be taken if a person needs painkillers for a short time, for example after surgery. It should be avoided for moderate pain relief or in cases where non-narcotic drugs are effective. It should not be used to treat single pain.
When taken over a long period of time, oxycodone can cause psychological or physical dependence. In the meantime, chronic pain sufferers should not be discouraged from using prescribed medications to relieve symptoms. If opioids are used for this reason, mental dependence may not occur, and physical dependence may result in withdrawal symptoms if therapy is abruptly stopped. Severe withdrawal symptoms can be avoided by temporarily reducing the dose before stopping the drug.
