In a surprising turn of events, rising rap star GloRilla encountered legal issues when Gwinnett County, Georgia authorities detained her on suspicion of DUI. The incident unfolded in the early hours of Tuesday morning, resulting in a swift arrest but a quick release after posting bond.
Officers in Gwinnett County initiated a stop after witnessing a vehicle execute a U-turn at a red light around 4 a.m. Reports noted the presence of an alcohol aroma as well as marijuana emanating from the vehicle. Despite acknowledging alcohol consumption earlier, GloRilla expressed confidence in her driving capabilities.
Law enforcement documents indicate that GloRilla displayed impairment signs and faced difficulty in field sobriety tests, a key factor in her arrest. She also opted not to take a breathalyzer exam, adding to the justification for her DUI charge. There was a minor incident reported where an officer had to instruct the rapper to cover herself after an unintended exposure.
Charges against the artist included DUI, having an open alcohol container, and a separate traffic violation. The bond was set at $1,956, and the artist was released within hours. Public statements from GloRilla on the matter have not been made, and her online presence remains unaffected by the incident.
