The thing that puzzles me the most is the cocaine charge. Where did it list finding any in this story. I can see being confused though. You got people here that think Wrightsville in Pine Bluff.

It's not the law enforcement officers who defines what is considered criminal activities, it's people who have too much time on their hands or they are too nosy for their own good. Yes, doing certain drugs have consequences and create health problems. Yes, there should be some degree of control. But where is it written that we the people are required to rely on the government to make all our decisions for us. This man is small time and has cost more tax dollars in 3 months than they were able to confiscate from him.

Again great job heroes. You got a major player in the drug world. We all can sleep much better knowing that 4 pills 1 joint a box of baking soda and empty baggies have been taken off the street.

Military police was my game. Then just like you the Department of correction. Everyone has an opinion and I voice mine like it or not. It's my right. Yours is to not listen to it.

I am tired of people criticizing the law enforcement community. When the police in Sao Paulo Brazil went on strike, everybody was glad because they said the same type of stuff "you are all lazy pigs" "Wasting our tax money" "All cops are dirty" but when 136 homicides happened in a matter of weeks because the cops were not there, they were begging for them to come back. Until you have worked in Law enforcement, you have no reason to criticize. I have served 8 years in the U.S. Army and 12 in Law Enforcement (Sheriff’s Department and at the Dept of Correction).

An open box of baking soda. I got one in the fridge. Small baggies? In the cabinet. People open boxes can be used to stop odor in the fridge. I use a lot of small baggies to put my sandwich in when going fishing. No more than they have found at this guys house I'd say the only person he sounds like a threat to is himself. More tax dollars spent wisely.

Truthfully, it does read like that. He possessed crack cocaine; enough that it's considered with purpose to deliver. Fox 16, sorry reporting.
