Overview
- Allen Police arrested Dallas rapper Xavier Landum, known as BigXthaPlug, and Collin County jail records list charges of driving while intoxicated, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
- The arrest, which occurred Friday, Aug. 21, 2026, led to his cancellation at Winnipeg’s Country Rising Festival but he was released and performed at the Iowa State Fair less than 24 hours later.
- Authorities confirmed the booking but declined to release details, saying the matter remains an active investigation and that further information is not available.
- Under Texas law the marijuana and typical first-offense DWI charges are usually Class B misdemeanors with maximum penalties up to six months in county jail, while unlawful firearm possession can be a Class A misdemeanor with higher penalties.
- This incident comes about a year after a similar Aug. 21, 2025 arrest and follows other 2022–2025 encounters with police, and it may affect his legal standing, touring plans, and how prosecutors handle his open 2025 case.
