According to the most recent report, Black’s lawyer told a news outlet:
“Never base a decision on an arrest.” There are facts and circumstances that support a defense, particularly in this situation. We secured a $75,000 bail and want to resolve the issue as soon as possible.”
Black has been charged with illegally having a controlled narcotic and trafficking in oxycodone.

Detail about the oxycodone tablets discovered in Kodak Black’s vehicle
When other pain medications do not work or are not tolerated, oxycodone tablets are used to treat severe pain that needs opioid therapy. The medicines reduce pain by acting on the central nervous system. The tablets should not be taken if a person need pain medication for a short length of time, such as after surgery. It should be avoided for modest pain relief or in instances where non-narcotic medications are effective. It should not be used to treat single-occurrence pain.
When taken over an extended period of time, oxycodone may induce mental or physical dependency. Meanwhile, persons suffering from chronic pain should not be discouraged from utilizing legally prescribed drugs to relieve their symptoms. If opioids are used for this reason, mental dependency may not emerge, and physical dependence may result in withdrawal symptoms if therapy is abruptly discontinued. Severe withdrawal symptoms may be avoided by temporarily lowering the dosage before discontinuing medication.
