Kodak Black Seeks End to Bail After Defense Says Prosecutors Missed Florida Filing Deadline

The defense asked a judge to remove bond and pretrial limits, arguing the state failed to file formal charges within the 60-day window required for defendants released before trial.

Overview

  • The rapper, Bill Kapri known as Kodak Black, surrendered and was booked on May 6 on an Orange County warrant tied to a November traffic stop that led investigators to seek an MDMA trafficking charge.
  • Florida lab results reported by prosecutors say officers recovered substances that tested positive for MDMA in amounts above the 14-gram trafficking threshold and also found cannabis during the November stop.
  • Kapri posted a $75,000 bond the day after his May arrest and has remained free under court-ordered pretrial conditions since then.
  • On July 22, 2026 the defense filed a motion asking the court to lift all bail and release conditions, arguing prosecutors did not file an information or indictment within the 60-day period required by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.134(b).
  • The court has not ruled and prosecutors have not publicly filed formal charges, so the next steps are for the state to either file charges, show good cause for an extension, or face a possible order freeing Kapri from bond conditions.
