He has been charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. His bond was set at $50,000.

Authorities seized $1,400 worth of what they called "high quality" marijuana and $1,357 in cash. They also confiscated a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban and a 2001 Honda ATV, all believed by authorities to have been purchased with drug proceeds.
