Mello Buckzz bodycam: Chicago drill rapper said she's a 'known rapper' and wouldn't step out, then cops say they found a stolen Glock

Bodycam from Mello Buckzz's June arrest is going viral after she told Chicago officers she wouldn't step out because she's a known rapper. Police say they then found a loaded, stolen Glock under her seat. She's charged with felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and resisting; the case is pending.

Bodycam from Mello Buckzz's June arrest is going viral, and the line everybody is quoting is her telling officers she didn't want to step out because she's a known rapper in Chicago. Police say plainclothes officers stopped the 25-year-old drill rapper, real name Melanie Doyle, in her Mercedes on the West Side on June 15 over window tint. Officers say they saw what looked like marijuana in her purse and an open bottle of Tito's on the passenger floorboard. In the video she says the weed came from a dispensary, the bottle wasn't hers, and she only refused to get out because of who she is. She asked for a supervisor. Police say a sergeant ordered her out for about 15 minutes before officers removed her, and that they then saw a gun barrel sticking out from under the driver's seat: a loaded Glock 43X reported stolen out of Bedford Park. Police say she had no FOID card or concealed carry license. She was charged with felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, two misdemeanor resisting counts and citations for the windshield and open alcohol. The case is still pending, and no outcome has been reported.
