Officers had responded to her Atlanta-area residence around 1:30 a.m. on July 20, following reports from family members that three intruders had entered the house. A gun was fired by someone inside the home, causing the suspects to flee. No injuries were reported.
During the course of the investigation, authorities smelled a strong odor of marijuana and obtained a search warrant. They later found a significant amount of marijuana and a Schedule I controlled substance in the master bedroom closet. GloRilla, who was not present at the time, turned herself in two days later and was released after posting a $22,260 bond.
She has been charged with two felonies: possession of marijuana in excess of one ounce and possession of a controlled substance. Her legal team criticized the police response, stating that her family had been traumatized by the break-in and that GloRilla should be treated as a victim, not a suspect. They also noted that no suspects have been arrested for the burglary.
Sheriff Ron Freeman said the case represents a balance between pursuing the burglars and enforcing Georgia’s drug laws, which treat marijuana possession over one ounce as a felony offense that can carry a prison sentence of one to ten years.
This marks GloRilla’s second run-in with the law in Georgia. In April 2024, she was arrested in Gwinnett County and charged with driving under the influence after making an illegal U-turn.
Despite the pending charges, she is still scheduled to headline her “Glo Bash” concert in Memphis on July 25, which will conclude her Glorious Tour launched in support of her debut album, Glorious.
