Franky Venegas, one half of the viral rap duo Island Boys, has been arrested again in Florida on alleged drug related offences and is currently in custody, according to TMZ. Law enforcement officials say Venegas was booked into the Collier County Jail in Naples on Wednesday night on one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. He posed for a new mugshot following the arrest. Authorities say Venegas was not granted bond and is being held on a 24 hour hold because he is already out on bond from a separate arrest in February. That earlier case involved charges of delivering, possessing, or selling a firearm with an altered serial number. In the February incident, deputies stopped a yellow Corvette after it allegedly ran a stop sign. According to the sheriffs report, officers found a baggie of suspected oxycodone on the passenger side floorboard. Venegas denied ownership at the time and claimed he had a prescription, though he could not provide proof. Police also reported finding a brown MGM handbag containing a blue spray painted handgun with no serial number, a cut straw, and credit cards bearing Venegas name. Another straw with a white powdery substance was allegedly discovered in the vehicles center console. Venegas rose to fame in 2021 alongside his twin brother Alex after their song Im an Island Boy went viral on social media. He has previously faced multiple arrests, including for domestic battery, reckless driving, and driving without a valid licence..
