Welp. The ashen troglodyte known as Kodak Black (born Bill K. Kapri) has been arrested on weapons and gun charges.

Per TMZ:

Cops say Kodak and 2 others attempted to enter the U.S. at the Lewiston-Queenston International Bridge in a Cadillac Escalade with a temporary California registration. They say Kodak was the driver, and officers discovered weed on him ... after further inspection of the vehicle they also found a Glock 9mm pistol which was undeclared by anyone in the Escalade.

There was also a Porsche traveling with Kodak’s team with 3 other individuals. The driver of the Porsche copped to having 2 loaded handguns and a third was found in the trunk ... aaaand more marijuana. A law enforcement source described one of the weapons as an “AK-style handgun with a 30-round magazine. It looks like an AK, but it’s a handgun.”

Stetson President and Madarrow Smith were both arrested for criminal possession of a weapon ... Jeantony Saintmelus — who was driving the Porsche — was booked for criminal possession of a weapon and possession of marijuana.
