GloRilla Arrested on Felony Drug Charges Amidst Atlanta Burglary Probe

Police Raid at GloRilla's Atlanta Home Uncovers Marijuana Stash

GloRilla—real name Gloria Hallelujah Woods—just landed in more legal hot water after a police raid at her Forsyth County, Georgia home. On July 24, 2025, deputies were called in to investigate a reported burglary and shots fired at the residence. But what started as a possible break-in probe quickly turned into a major drug bust.

When authorities arrived, something tipped them off right away: the house was thick with the smell of illegal narcotics. Acting on that clue, police secured a search warrant in no time. Once inside, they found a hefty stash of marijuana—well over an ounce—sitting out in the open in the master bedroom closet. The evidence was so obvious, one officer described it as 'impossible to miss.' But they didn’t stop there. Police also say they found a Schedule I controlled substance, though details about the specific drug weren’t released to the public yet.

• GloRilla was hit with a felony charge for marijuana possession (over one ounce).
• Authorities tacked on a second charge for possession of a Schedule I substance.
• The rapper was not home during the raid but turned herself in that evening and posted bond.

GloRilla’s legal team was quick to push back against the arrest, blasting local law enforcement for what they called 'warped law enforcement priorities.' They argue that shifting so much energy toward marijuana cases, especially during the investigation of a much more serious crime like a burglary and the possibility of shots fired, is out of step with what the community really needs. According to her attorneys, the legal consequences still tied to marijuana use and possession feel increasingly disconnected from reality—especially as laws relax in other parts of the country.

This Isn’t GloRilla’s First Legal Tangle

If GloRilla’s name sounds familiar from police blotters, there’s a reason. In 2024, she was pulled over in Gwinnett County for making an illegal U-turn. What began as a simple traffic stop spiraled quickly after she failed a roadside sobriety test. Officers charged her with DUI, having an open container, and a host of other traffic violations. Things got even messier when video of her arrest surfaced online, quickly spreading on social media and sparking heated debate about how high-profile figures are treated by law enforcement.

Video footage from her previous run-in with police doesn’t paint a good picture. In the recording, officers repeatedly ask her to follow instructions during the field test—viewers online were split about whether the stop was fair or if she was being singled out for her notoriety. For many of GloRilla’s fans, this latest arrest feels like déjà vu, raising questions about whether she’s being unfairly targeted by police or just finding herself on the wrong side of the law too often.

Woods did turn herself in to Forsyth County authorities following the latest marijuana charges, cooperating with the police and posting bond before being released. For now, all eyes are on the next steps: will these felony charges stick, or will her legal team find a way to push back? Either way, GloRilla is once again in the spotlight for reasons that have nothing to do with her music.
