He is being held on a 24-hour hold tied to an unresolved 2025 firearm case.

Overview

  • Law enforcement and booking records show Venegas was taken into custody on New Year’s Eve and booked into Collier County Jail in Naples, Florida.
  • He faces one count of drug paraphernalia and currently has no bond during the reported 24-hour hold connected to the earlier case.
  • TMZ and Complex report the hold relates to a February 2025 arrest in which a firearm charge involving an altered serial number remained after a drug count was dropped.
