According to the Miami-Dade police department, Kodak was taken into custody at the stadium by not only Miami-Dade’s police but also federal agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and U.S. Marshals, who will spearhead the investigation. He faces states and federal charges.
A statement from the U.S. Marshals on Saturday night said Kodak’s case was “extensive investigation” and said he is being booked into Miami’s Federal Detention Center.
Additionally, rap legend Lil Wayne ended up not performing at the music festival because he refused to subject himself to being searched in order to perform.

Kodak, who was born as Dieuson Octave to Haitian American parents continues to have run-ins with the law. Just last month the 21-year-old rapper was arrested on drugs and weapons charges leaving Canada. The Grio reported that he had marijuana and a gun which resulted in him and four others sitting in a Niagara Falls jail for days.
