GloRilla (real name Gloria Woods) was arrested in Georgia on Tuesday (July 22) after turning herself in to Forsyth County Jail, where she was charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of a schedule one controlled substance.
A spokesperson for the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office revealed in a statement to Billboard that the arrest was tied to a burglary of GloRilla’s home; officers had responded to the break-in around 1:30 a.m. local time on Saturday (July 20).
Three suspects entered Glo’s residence and were met with gunfire from an occupant. The intruders fled the scene and no injuries were reported to police. GloRilla was not present at the time of the burglary, law enforcement tells Billboard.
An extensive investigation surrounding the home was conducted by law enforcement, who sensed a strong odor of narcotics, according to the statement. Task force agents subsequently secured a search warrant for the rapper’s home and discovered a “significant amount of marijuana” in plain view in the master bedroom closet.
GloRilla then turned herself in to Forsyth County Jail Tuesday, posted a $22,260 bond and was released the same day.
“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” said Sheriff Ron Freeman in a statement. “At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.”
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office has not named any suspects in the burglary case and no arrests have been made as of press time.
Billboard has reached out to reps for GloRilla.
GloRilla also ran into legal trouble in Georgia last year when the CMG rapper was arrested on DUI charges in April 2024 in Gwinnett County.
More recently, Glo performed during the halftime show at the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis over the weekend. She’s also preparing for her inaugural Glo Bash at FedEx Forum in her hometown of Memphis on July 25.
