Overview
- Allen Police arrested Dallas rapper Xavier Landum, known as BigXthaPlug, and he was booked into Collin County Jail on Friday, Aug. 21, 2026, according to police and jail records.
- Collin County jail records list charges of driving while intoxicated, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
- Police have confirmed the arrest but declined to release further details while the investigation remains active.
- Organizers canceled his Country Rising Festival set in Winnipeg because of a reported personal emergency, while Iowa State Fair officials said they were in contact with his agent and expect his scheduled appearance to proceed.
- The arrest echoes a nearly identical Aug. 21, 2025 case and adds to earlier drug- and weapons-related arrests; under Texas law the listed offenses are misdemeanors that carry possible jail time if convicted, but Landum has been charged and not convicted.
