Kodak Black is facing a potential legal breakthrough after his attorney Bradford Cohen filed a motion Monday arguing that prosecutors have missed Florida’s mandatory 60-day deadline to file formal charges following his May arrest.
The state had until July 5 to file an information or indictment on the MDMA trafficking charge, and according to Cohen’s filing in Orange County court, that window has closed without any paperwork submitted. Under Florida law, if charges aren’t filed by the 63rd day after arrest, the defendant must be released on their own recognizance unless the state can prove good cause for an extension.
Kodak Black was arrested May 6 after deputies found what they believed to be MDMA in a pink bag during a November 2025 incident at Children’s Safety Village on Fairvilla Road in Orlando.
The bag matched one visible on Kodak’s Instagram account, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement confirmed the substance was MDMA in a trafficking amount on April 17.
He’s charged with trafficking between 10 and 200 grams of the drug, a first-degree felony carrying a potential sentence of up to 30 years.
At his May bond hearing, a judge set bail at $75,000, citing his 12 prior felony convictions, and Kodak Black bonded out shortly after.
Cohen has been vocal about what he sees as selective prosecution, claiming that police are targeting his client.
The motion puts pressure on the state attorney’s office to either file charges or release Kodak from all bail conditions.
According to WKMG, News 6 reached out to prosecutors for comment on whether formal charges will be filed before the deadline passes.
The state attorney’s office has not yet responded to requests for clarification on their next move in the case.
The timing of this motion is particularly notable because just one day earlier, authorities released body camera footage showing the arrest of Jammiah Broomfield, the mother of one of Kodak’s children, who was taken into custody in Fort Lauderdale on drug trafficking charges in April.
