‘Island Boys’ rapper Franky Venegas arrested in Florida on gun, drug charges

“Island Boys” rapper Franky Venegas was arrested during a traffic stop in Florida on gun and drug charges, according to authorities.

According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, 23-year-old Venegas was arrested on charges of possessing a controlled substance without a prescription and having a firearm with an altered serial number. The report was covered by WPLG.

Officials revealed that Venegas was a passenger in a yellow Corvette on a recent Sunday when the driver, a 25-year-old woman, failed to obey a stop sign by not coming to a complete stop.

The sergeant who conducted the traffic stop asked Venegas and the driver to exit the vehicle, and a K-9 unit searched the car.
