Allen police arrested musician Xavier Landum, known as BigXthaPlug.[1] The arrest took place on Friday 21 August 2026.[2] Officers booked Landum into the Collin County Jail on charges of driving while intoxicated, possession of less than two ounces of marijuana and unlawful possession of a firearm.[2] Landum was released from jail on Saturday.[1]
Driving while intoxicated and possession of less than two ounces of marijuana are Class B misdemeanors, while unlawful firearm possession is a Class A misdemeanor.[1] The new charges are separate from the case stemming from last year’s arrest.[1] Landum was free on bond in the earlier Dallas case when he was taken into custody.[1] Allen police have released few details about what led to the arrest, saying the investigation remains active.[1]
He had been scheduled to headline the Country Rising Festival in Winnipeg that night but did not appear after organizers cited a personal emergency.[1] Landum was released in time to travel to Des Moines and perform at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand on Saturday night.[1] During the show he acknowledged having been in jail the previous day.[1] The August 2025 Dallas arrest followed a traffic stop after officers saw Landum driving a pickup truck without a front license plate.[1] Authorities said they found a firearm and a small amount of marijuana inside the vehicle, and that case remains pending.[1] In February 2025 Landum had been arrested in Arlington for marijuana possession, and those charges were later dismissed.[2]
