The verdict of an alleged February incident that featured frequently in trouble rapper Kodak Black has been reached. On Wednesday, a Florida judge reportedly found him guilty of five counts of violating his house arrest; however, the Sun Sentinel reporter Brett Clarkson tweeted it still unknown if the ruling will extend Kodak's jail time. He will return to court on May 4.

Court is now in recess for a few minutes while lawyers decide if proceedings should continue today with a 'danger hearing'

Doesn't yet mean Kodak Black will be sentenced to further, if any, jail time. It's possible, for sure. Up to judge.

The 19-year-old rapper was accused of punching and kicking a 34-year-old woman at a Miami-Dade strip club called "Club Climaxx." The Florida Department of Corrections then added that incident to their list of claims that Kodak had violated his parole.

The assault is said to have occurred around 3 a.m. on Feb. 2, while the victim was at her shift as a club bartender. She told police that he "approached her and started acting belligerent." After she pushed him away he "began to punch her numerous times all over her body and then kicked her, stopping shortly after."

She reported the altercation to the cops during her shift on Feb. 3, where it was listed as misdemeanor battery.

Kodak is already in jail without bail for violating his house arrest, and is also facing allegations that he sexually assaulted a female fan in South Carolina. In addition to those legal problems, earlier this week it was also reported that Kodak grabbed the wrist of his anger management counselor after she threatened to call 911 due to his refusal to leave her class.

A Miami-Dade police detective said the investigation is still open because the accuser never showed up to the police station to finish her report:

"I have plenty of battery cases that when the subject is known, that its left open because of lack of cooperation from the victims."
