GloRilla Arrested in Georgia on Two Felony Drug Charges: What We Know So Far
Memphis rapper GloRilla is once again in hot water legally within the state of Georgia. The 'Tomorrow 2' rapper, whose real name is Gloria Woods, was arrested Tuesday in Forsyth County on two counts of felony drug possession, TMZ has discovered from jail records. Felony Drug Charges and Jail Time According to official papers obtained by TMZ, Woods was charged with two offenses: possession of a scheduled controlled substance and possession of in excess of one ounce of marijuana. Both offenses are felonies under the state statutes in Georgia, which has some of the strongest drug legislation in the country. While the actual substance covered under the scheduled drug offense has not yet been named, possession of any Schedule I or II drug can bring significant prison time upon conviction, the length of which will depend on quantity and situation. Police have yet to release further information about the arrest. There has not been any incident report released, and it is not yet clear what prompted the authorities to arrest her in the first instance. But what is confirmed is that GloRilla was arrested and later released the same day after posting $22,000 bond, according to the records of the Forsyth County Jail. TMZ covered that questions issued to the representatives of GloRilla were still pending. A Pattern of Legal Trouble in Georgia GloRilla has been arrested twice already in Georgia within the last fifteen months. In April 2024, she was arrested in Gwinnett County on suspicion of DUI. That police report stated officers observed a vehicle allegedly driven by Woods make a U-turn through a solid red light, and they pulled her over. Video from body cameras at the time, as reported, showed officers saying they smelled marijuana and alcohol emanating from the vehicle. She allegedly admitted to having a drink when questioned. She reportedly indicated intoxication, staggering through a field sobriety test while being visibly shaky and unbalanced on her feet. That arrest made headlines but failed to derail her music career. GloRilla's Meteoric Rise and Recent Turbulence GloRilla burst into the mainstream in 2022 with breakout debut hit 'F.N.F. (Let's Go)' and subsequently the chart-climbing 'Tomorrow 2' with Cardi B. Acclaimed for her raspy vocals, free-flowing lyricism, and unflinching Memphis attitude, Woods quickly emerged as a top voice of Southern rap's Gen Z era. Her debut EP 'Anyways, Life's Great…' was both critically and commercially acclaimed, landing her on XXL's Freshman list and a string of award nods. But 2024 and 2025 have been plagued by personal and legal drama. The recent string of back-to-back run-ins with Georgia authorities just as GloRilla was preparing to drop an alleged sophomore album. While she has stayed relatively low-key on social media since last year's DUI incident, supporters have noticed a slowdown in frequent music releases and public appearances. So far, GloRilla has not made any public declaration about the latest arrest.

NAZARETH, Pennsylvania (WCMH) – A former Ohio State wrestler has been arrested in Pennsylvania on weapons and drug charges. Sammy Sasso, 25, was arrested on July 16 in Nazareth, Pa., a borough in eastern Pennsylvania about 70 miles north of Philadelphia. According to the Nazareth police department, Sasso was charged with firearms not to be carried without a license, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and operating an unregistered vehicle. Sasso, who grew up in Nazareth, was pulled over for an expired Ohio registration on the evening of July 16, police said. Sasso was allegedly found with marijuana and a firearm in the car. He was arrested and the car was towed from the scene, police said. A later search of the car allegedly yielded three more guns and more drugs. Olentangy coach resigns amid investigation into inappropriate text messages According to Pennsylvania law, only medical marijuana, not recreational marijuana, is legal with a license; carrying firearms also requires a license. Police claim Sasso had neither. Sasso was arraigned and booked into Northampton County Prison on $35,000 bail. While a student at Ohio State University, Sasso was shot during a robbery attempt in August 2023 in Weinland Park. He returned to the wrestling mat in November 2024 before retiring from active competition in February.
