I think it's ridiculous when someone's busted for pot but heroin is another story...I hope they find out where he got that stuff, heroin dealers deserve jail time.

Maybe the family should have spent more time helping him instead of minding other peoples business.What goes around comes around.

Hats off to Austin’s local law enforcement, for being part of the solution, for getting rid of a problem that cost us tax payers again, and again. This level of narcotic has no business in our society, and no matter how affluent his siblings are, there others who have more, I hope the judge understands that and keeps this scumbag out of civil society. Men like this aren’t to quote R. Lee Ermey “Their not even a human being. They are nothing more than an unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian crap! “

At least it wasn't the dangerous cannabis. That stuff is wicked, it causes people to raid the refrigerator and call in orders for pizza.

blackandproud; you are so right; lock him up and throw away the key! Lonoke County seems to have more problems with drugs than anywhere else. Do they not have law enforcement there? And this Siegrist guy; has he been caught yet? Perhaps instead of waiting for him to come out of the residence on Bowen Rd, they should have gone on in and busted the whole lot inside. I'm sure if Siegrist was there, then there are other criminals there also - do you hear this Lonoke County law enforcement? Kind of makes one wonder - how many law enforcement officers in Lonoke County are making money off of these drugs and the garbage that peddles the stuff? And yes; people that make and sell meth, ice, heroin, et al; they are nothing but garbage and need to be locked up - forever!

you think crack got blacks and meth got whites? this is the drug of unity here boyyyy it will take every race to the ground in a flash this is big big big big trouble. death (from overdose),death (from crime), death from prostitution, teenagers passed out on street corners. there is no drug for one specific race but we see the trends, this drug is going to turn any neibhorhood to a ghetto, any person into a thief and make any other addiction look like childs pay. find out where he got it and lock the guy up and throw away key.

His family has been bailing him out of trouble, and putting him back on the street for years. Maybe when they run out of bail money, he will get to suffer the consequences of his actions.

Guess the whole meth thing was getting too boring for him.
