Report via NBC News -- Rapper Kodak Black and three others were arrested after they allegedly tried crossing the U.S.-Canada border near Buffalo with guns and marijuana, officials said Thursday.
The artist — born Bill Kapri — was a no-show for concerts in Boston on Wednesday night, after he was stopped at the Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge hours earlier, authorities said.
Kodak, 21, and Jeantony Saintmelus, 22, were booked on suspicion of criminal possession of a weapon and unlawful possession of marijuana, state police said. Stetson J. President, 24, and Madarrow D. Smith, 20, were booked for alleged criminal possession of a weapon.
“During the initial inspection, the U.S. citizens admitted to being in possession of marijuana and firearms,” according to a statement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. “During a secondary inspection, it was revealed that the weapons were possessed unlawfully in New York State and subsequently the marijuana, firearms and subjects were turned over to the New York State Police for further processing.”
Kodak was behind the wheel of a Cadillac Escalade, with a temporary California registration, when he was stopped. The gun in the Cadillac was a Glock 9mm pistol, state police said.
Saintmelus was driving a Porche, alongside Kodak’s Escalade, and there were three guns and marijuana found inside that car, police said.
The arrests caused Kodak to miss shows at the House of Blues in Boston on Wednesday night.
