Polk County rapper found with bible, drugs after driving nearly 100 mph on highway

POLK COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A Polk County rapper was arrested Wednesday night following a traffic stop, which involved speeding, drug possession, and the holy bible, an arrest report revealed.

Around 10:42 p.m., a Florida Highway Patrol witnessed two racing vehicles on eastbound Highway 60 in Lake Wales. One vehicle was driving at 86 mph, while the other was traveling at 96 mph.

The trooper initiated a traffic stop on both vehicles. The first driver was identified as 34-year-old Brice Larome Chaney, who was speeding at 86 mph, while the driver traveling at 96 mph was released with a traffic citation.

Chaney was initially placed under arrest for driving without a valid driver’s license and issued a citation for speeding.

When the trooper searched Chaney’s vehicle, he discovered 20 grams of cannabis containing 1% delta-9 THC, along with plastic bags in a backpack and a bible.

According to the report, when asked where he got the drugs from, Chaney told the trooper that he’s a rapper and that “a lot of people give him stuff.”

FHP said Chaney has a lengthy criminal history in Florida and Georgia, with arrests involving trespassing, three separate instances of driving with a suspended license, driving without a valid license, possession of ecstasy, and criminal damage to property.

Chaney was taken to the Polk County Jail.
