Overview
- The rapper Xavier Landum, known as BigXthaPlug, was pulled over and arrested Friday, Aug. 21, 2026, and booked into Collin County Jail on charges of driving while intoxicated, possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana and unlawful possession of a firearm.
- Allen police confirmed an arrest but declined to provide details, with the department’s public information officer saying the investigation remains active.
- The arrest forced BigXthaPlug to cancel a scheduled Country Rising Festival appearance in Winnipeg because organizers cited a “personal emergency,” yet he was released and performed at the Iowa State Fair less than 24 hours later.
- Under Texas law reported by multiple outlets, possession of under two ounces of marijuana and a standard first-offense DWI are generally Class B misdemeanors with up to 180 days in county jail, while unlawful possession of a firearm is often a Class A misdemeanor that can carry up to one year in county jail and higher fines.
- The booking follows a pattern of past encounters with police, including a near-identical arrest on Aug. 21, 2025, and the new charges could affect his open 2025 case because he was reportedly out on bail at the time of this arrest.
