Geechi Gotti’s year has taken a serious turn after a recent arrest in Ohio that now has him facing multiple felony charges.
The battle rapper was taken into custody earlier this month in Butler County following a traffic stop that quickly escalated, according to local authorities. Police allege Geechi Gotti was traveling with three other men when officers pulled their vehicle over on Interstate 75. The routine stop reportedly ended with all four men detained after officers said they attempted to run from the scene.
Investigators claim a search of the vehicle uncovered a large quantity of prescription opioids, including oxycodone, morphine, and Vicodin.
At a preliminary court hearing, a West Chester Police detective testified that the pills appeared to be recently obtained and still packaged in a way consistent with pharmacy inventory.
“It looked like it came straight from a pharmacy,” the detective told the court, estimating the total value of the drugs in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Prosecutors also alleged that cash tied to pharmacy thefts in other Ohio cities was recovered. Law enforcement officials said the group had been on their radar before the arrest, after one member traveled through a regional airport.
Footage from police body cameras captured officers shouting commands as they worked to secure the scene. Geechi Gotti has not publicly addressed the arrest or charges, which include drug possession and failure to comply. The case remains under investigation.
