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

Venegas, 23, was arrested for possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, WPLG reported.

The sheriff’s office said Venegas was a passenger in a yellow Corvette on Sunday when the driver — a 25-year-old woman — failed to come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

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