GloRilla arrested on drug possession charges in Georgia days after WNBA show, released on $22,000 bond
According to Forsyth County jail records, Woods was taken into custody for possession of a scheduled controlled substance and possession of marijuana over one ounce—both felony offenses under Georgia law. She was released later that day after posting a $22,000 bond.
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office told FOX 5 Atlanta that deputies responded to a burglary call at Woods' home early Saturday morning. The report included claims of shots fired. While Woods was not present at the time, deputies said they detected a strong odor of narcotics upon arrival.
After obtaining a search warrant, investigators reportedly found a 'significant amount of marijuana' in plain view inside the master bedroom closet of the residence.
Sheriff Ron Freeman stated, 'The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice. At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.'
This marks the second time in just over a year that Woods has been arrested in Georgia. In April 2024, she was stopped by police in Gwinnett County for making an illegal U-turn at a red light.
GloRilla's arrest came less than a week after she performed during the halftime show at the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Donald Trump's celebrity pardons: From Lil Wayne to the Chrisleys — and is Sean 'Diddy' Combs next?
Donald Trump has never been shy about using presidential clemency, especially when it comes to public figures with name recognition. Since his first term, Trump has issued a string of high-profile pardons and commutations for celebrities, rappers, and reality stars, blurring the lines between pop culture and politics. Now, reports suggest that Sean 'Diddy' Combs could be next in line, and if that happens, it would mark one of Trump's most controversial celebrity pardons to date. Here's a closer look at the famous names Trump has granted clemency to, why they were convicted, and when they walked free. Lil Wayne – Federal gun charge (2021) In January 2021, just hours before leaving office, Trump granted a full pardon to rapper Lil Wayne. The Grammy-winning artist had pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, stemming from a December 2019 arrest when a loaded gold-plated handgun was found on his private jet. Wayne, who faced up to 10 years in prison, was praised in the White House statement for his charitable work and 'generosity.' The pardon followed Wayne's public support of Trump during the 2020 election, which raised eyebrows among fans at the time. Kodak Black – Weapons offense (2021) Alongside Wayne, Florida rapper Kodak Black also benefited from Trump's final clemency wave in January 2021. Black had been sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for falsifying documents used to buy firearms. His sentence was commuted, meaning he walked free but his conviction remained intact. Black later publicly thanked Trump, crediting the decision with saving his life and giving him a second chance. Michael 'Harry-O' Harris – Drug trafficking (2021 and 2025) Michael Harris, the music executive who helped launch Death Row Records, served over three decades in prison for cocaine trafficking and attempted murder. Trump commuted Harris's sentence in January 2021 after heavy lobbying by Snoop Dogg and reform advocates. Then, in 2025, Trump granted Harris a full pardon, wiping his record clean. Harris has since become a vocal supporter of Trump's criminal justice efforts, citing his own case as proof that the system can offer redemption. Todd and Julie Chrisley – Fraud and tax evasion (2025) In one of the more headline-grabbing clemency moves, Trump pardoned reality TV couple Todd and Julie Chrisley on May 28, 2025. The 'Chrisley Knows Best' stars had been serving lengthy sentences after being convicted in 2022 of bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion involving millions of dollars. They had maintained their innocence throughout, and their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, lobbied openly for their release. Trump reportedly informed her of the decision personally, citing 'unjust prosecution' in a statement that sparked mixed reactions across political and entertainment circles. NBA YoungBoy – Firearms and prescription fraud (2025) Also included in Trump's May 2025 pardon list was rapper NBA YoungBoy, real name Kentrell Gaulden. In late 2024, he had pleaded guilty to federal charges involving firearms and prescription drug fraud, facing up to 20 years in prison. His legal team argued that he was targeted unfairly, and several advocacy groups supported his clemency request. Trump granted him a full pardon, lifting restrictions tied to parole and probation. YoungBoy later posted a video thanking the former president. Rod Blagojevich – Public corruption (2020 and 2025) Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat for political favors. Trump commuted his 14-year sentence in 2020 after Blagojevich had served nearly eight years. Then, in February 2025, Trump issued a full pardon. The move reignited debate about political influence and accountability, but Trump defended it by saying Blagojevich had 'paid a steep price already.' Topeka K. Sam – Drug trafficking (2020) Though not a celebrity in the traditional sense, Topeka K. Sam became a prominent advocate for criminal justice reform after serving time for cocaine trafficking. Trump granted her a full pardon in December 2020, citing her post-release advocacy work. Sam later helped advise Trump's clemency team and supported several reform policies introduced during his term. The Diddy speculation Now, the clemency spotlight is on Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The hip-hop mogul is currently facing serious federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy related to a sprawling investigation that spans multiple states. With a trial set for October 3, 2025, Diddy faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted. Trump recently commented on the rumours, saying he hasn't received a formal request from Diddy's legal team but would 'consider all the facts' if asked. Given Trump's history of pardoning high-profile entertainers and his ongoing efforts to court Black celebrity support, some believe a Diddy pardon is possible, especially if the trial becomes a national flashpoint. Whether you see them as acts of mercy or political theatre, Trump's celebrity pardons have consistently drawn global attention. From rappers with gun charges to TV stars convicted of fraud, his clemency list reads more like a tabloid column than a legal document. And if Diddy ends up on that list, it would be Trump's most sensational clemency move yet. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Former WWE boss Vince McMahon booked for reckless driving after crashing his Bentley last week
Former WWE boss Vince McMahon has been booked for reckless driving following a car crash in Connecticut (US), last week. According to a report by TMZ, Vince was involved in a multi-vehicle accident where his car rear-ended another vehicle and struck a guardrail — though fortunately, no one was injured. Vince McMahon speaks to an audience during a WWE fan appreciation event(AP) The incident happened on Thursday, when Vince's 2024 Bentley, which was traveling northbound rammed into the back of a BMW and collided with a median wooden-beam guardrail. The debris from the crash also hit a third car on the opposite side of the road. The report further states that Vince was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident. He will have to appear in court late next month. Earlier this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed that Vince had entered into two settlement agreements totaling $10.5 million with two women to prevent them from disclosing potential claims against him and WWE. One agreement, signed in 2019, required Vince to pay a former employee $3 million in exchange for her non-disclosure of their relationship and for releasing potential claims against WWE and Vince. The second agreement, signed in 2022, obliged Vince to pay a former WWE independent contractor $7.5 million in return for her non-disclosure of allegations against him and for releasing potential claims against WWE and Vince, according to the SEC. The SEC stated that Vince failed to disclose these agreements to WWE's board, legal department, accountants, financial reporting personnel, or auditor. This action bypassed WWE's internal accounting controls and led to material misstatements in the company's 2018 and 2021 financial statements.

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon involved in car accident, charged with reckless driving
Vince McMahon, the former WWE CEO and wrestling mogul, was recently involved in a serious car accident in Connecticut, US. According to reports by TMZ, the 79-year-old crashed his 2024 Bentley into a BMW on Route 15 in Westport on July 24, before hitting a wooden guardrail. While no major injuries were reported, the impact caused debris to strike a third vehicle, a Ford Fusion, on the opposite side of the road. Photos from the scene show McMahon's luxury car heavily damaged, with airbags deployed in both his vehicle and the BMW. All involved were wearing seatbelts. McMahon has been issued a misdemeanour summons for reckless driving and following too closely, and is expected to appear in court next month. The incident occurred on the same day McMahon paid tribute to late WWE legend Hulk Hogan, who passed away at the age of 71. Calling Hogan 'the greatest WWE Superstar of all time,' McMahon remembered him as a trailblazer and global icon. 'The world lost a treasure today. Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world,' McMahon wrote on X. 'He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved,' McMahon added. 'He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, 'Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers,' ' McMahon wrote, adding, 'Today, we pray for him.' McMahon, a towering figure in the world of professional wrestling, has also been at the centre of several controversies. He stepped down as WWE chairman in 2022 amid misconduct allegations and resigned from his role at WWE-UFC's parent company, TKO Group, earlier this year after facing a lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct and abuse.
