Reports have been going around that Island Boys' member Kodiyakredd, real name Franky Venegas, has been arrested for a gun and drug offense in Florida.
The 23-year-old artist was taken into police custody on Sunday, February 23, 2025, after he was allegedly found with a controlled substance without a prescription and an altered firearm.
If found liable, Franky Venegas faces a prison sentence of up to five years and fines. At the time of writing, Venegas' representative has not released an official statement regarding the reported arrest.
Franky Venegas' latest run-in with the law came after he was reportedly arrested in Fort Lauderdale.
According to The Blast report of February 24, 2025, the Island Boys' member was arrested in Fort Lauderdale on charges of reckless driving, driving without a valid license, and providing false ID to a law enforcement officer.
More details on Franky Venegas' history of arrests
It would seem that Franky Venegas has had more than his fair share of brushes with the law.
According to People, Franky and his twin brother had their Florida rental home raided in 2022 by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's department descended on the property with a search warrant for Andrew James Thomas, who at that time faced first-degree murder with firearm charges for the death of an eight-year-old girl who was hit during a drive-by shooting.
Upon discovery of the relationship between the Venegas' and Andrew James Thomas, the police rightly suspected that Andrew was hiding in the twins' home. However, the brothers denied having any knowledge of Andrew's crime.
In 2023, as reported by The Blast, Franky was taken into custody for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend after she threatened him with a breakup. The rapper reportedly hit her and pushed her into a pool. She had to be taken to the hospital to treat her chin, neck, and arms.
