According to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, GloRilla, whose true name is Gloria Woods, willingly brought herself in on Tuesday and was freed on $22,260 bond that same day.
At before 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, deputies were summoned to the rapper’s residence on suspicion of a break-in. Woods was not there; he had played during the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday in Indianapolis during halftime.
When three suspects broke into the house and started taking things, one of the residents shot the invaders. According to the sheriff’s office, the suspects did not seem to have been hurt and left the scene.
While investigating the burglary, deputies detected a strong stench consistent with illegal narcotics, which prompted a drug task team to get a search warrant for the house. In the closet of the master bedroom, the task team found marijuana in plain sight, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Both marijuana possession and possession of a controlled narcotic were the charges brought against Woods.
They concentrate on some cannabis rather than tracking down the suspects, Woodswrote on X. In any case, I am the only one arrested after my house is broken into.
In a statement provided to The Associated Press, the sheriff’s office stated that despite a thorough search, the suspects were not found. According to the office, officers have found tangible and traced forensic evidence thought to be that of the suspects in the continuing burglary investigation.
When Woods’ lawyers, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, discovered the house wasn’t empty, they stated in a statement that the suspects fled with expensive jewels.
According to what her attorneys wrote, Woods had terrified family members sleeping at her house.
Sheriff Ron Freeman commented, “We are dedicated to bringing the suspects to justice because the homeowner is a victim of a serious crime.” In all facets of this case, we must simultaneously keep upholding and enforcing the law.
Her arrest, according to Woods’ lawyers, is a troubling example of how skewed law enforcement goals have become.
Instead of looking into the violent home invasion and theft at Ms. Woods’ house, her family members requested a search warrant after doing the right thing and calling the police, according to Findling and Goldberg. For the violent house invaders, no arrest warrants have been filed. Ms. Woods is not a suspect; she is a victim. Unbelievably, this is the result of our taxes.
