On Sunday, Franky Venegas, 23, was booked into the Collier County Sheriff's Office on one count of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of an altered firearm.
Franky, joined by his twin brother Alex, rose to fame as the "Island Boys" following their 2021 viral hit, "I'm an Island Boy," which has garnered over 24 million views on YouTube.
According to public records, Franky has a history of arrests in South Florida. His most recent altercation with the law was in May 2024, when he reportedly pretended to be his brother and was arrested in Fort Lauderdale for reckless driving.
