The rapper, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, was arrested on Tuesday, July 22, after turning herself in to Forsyth County Jail, where she was charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of a schedule one controlled substance.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that deputies were called to a home owned by GloRilla at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. Investigators went on to say three suspects went into the home when Woods wasn’t there and were caught stealing things when someone inside the home fired at them. The burglars ran off and investigators don’t believe any of them were injured.
An investigation surrounding the home was conducted by law enforcement, who say in their statement they sensed a strong odor of narcotics. Task force agents went on to secure a search warrant for her home and discovered a “significant amount of marijuana” in closet of the master bedroom.
GloRilla turned herself in to Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday, posted a $22,260 bond and was released the same day.
“The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,” said Sheriff Ron Freeman in a statement, per Billboard. “At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.”
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office has not named any suspects in the burglary case and, as of Thursday, no arrests have been made.
