Kodak Black ended up behind bars on New Years Eve – albeit briefly – but it looks like it could have been a big misunderstanding … at least according to his lawyer.
KB’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, tells TMZ … yes, his client was indeed arrested early Saturday morning near Pompano Beach, FL on a trespassing charge – but insists it is a fake bust. .. based on nothing but a cease or desist letter from 4 months ago.
Here’s the deal … Cohen says Kodak went to his old neighborhood of Greenacres to spend time with friends for the holidays, and also to pay off the credit card debt of 5 families living in the area who had shelled out. for Christmas gifts for their children and loved ones.
At one point, while there, we were told that the cops showed up and took Kodak into custody – telling him he was breaking a letter issued by the local housing authority.

You might remember this letter… it was issued in response to Kodak delivering air conditioning units to people there in September, which the HA apparently did not appreciate. Either way, it looks like Kodak’s mere presence this time around sparked a call to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
Here’s why Cohen thinks the arrest wasn’t warranted – on the one hand, he says the C&D never went to Kodak, meaning it wasn’t served properly because it was sent. to his record company, not to him personally. Second, he says that this letter does not say anything about not coming to the field, so it should not have served as the basis for an arrest.
BSO tells us that they booked Kodak around 3:02 a.m. and he was released on $ 25 bail a few hours later. It is not known if this will affect Kodak’s supervised release.
