GloRilla arrested on drug charges after burglars invade her Atlanta home

GloRilla says police ignored burglars and focused on cannabis after her home was invaded while she was out of town.

Rapper GloRilla, real name Gloria Woods, was arrested on felony drug charges after police discovered marijuana during a burglary investigation at her Atlanta home. The incident occurred early Sunday morning while Woods was in Indianapolis to perform at the WNBA All-Star Game.

According to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a burglary report around 1:30 a.m. and learned that three intruders had broken into Woods' residence. A family member present at the time fired a weapon at the suspects, who fled without injury. During the investigation, officers reportedly smelled marijuana and called in a drug task force.

After securing a warrant, authorities found a “significant amount of marijuana” in plain sight inside the master bedroom closet. GloRilla turned herself in on Tuesday and was released the same day on a $22,260 bond. She now faces charges of marijuana possession and possession of a controlled substance.

In a statement on X, the rapper criticized the authorities’ actions: “Instead of focusing on finding the suspects, they focus on some cannabis … Long story short, my house gets home invaded and I’m the only one that gets arrested.”

Her attorneys, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, described the situation as a “disturbing window” into misplaced law enforcement priorities. They confirmed that valuable jewelry was stolen and emphasized that Woods’ relatives were traumatized.

Despite an extensive search, no suspects have been apprehended. The investigation is ongoing, with law enforcement confirming recovery of forensic evidence.

Sheriff Ron Freeman maintained that both the burglary and the drug discovery are being taken seriously, stating, “We must uphold the law in all aspects of this case.”
