Davis posted bail on Friday morning.
Thursday evening SCU officers made a traffic stop at a convenience store on Broadway Street in Sulphur Springs. Inside the vehicle were Isaiah Deonte Bryant-Lacy, 19, the driver, and Eduardo Austin Torres, 17, the passenger. Upon contact, Sgt. Estes and Sergeant Crouse could smell a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. Sgt. Estes asked about the smell at which time the driver stated that they were in possession of illegal narcotics. Bryant-Lacy handed Sgt. Estes a large white container which had an undisclosed quantity of marijuana and a clear bag containing several green pills identified as Xanax. The two men were within 1000 feet of a Christian School located on Lee Street which enhanced the charge to being within a Drug Free Zone. Upon further questioning, Torres admitted to selling Xanax pills to Davis who was arrested earlier on Thursday. Bryant-Lacy and Torres were then transported to the Hopkins County Jail.
Bryant-Lacy was placed on $7,000 total bond: $5,000 for Possession of a Controlled Substance Level 3 less than 28 grams in a Drug Free Zone and $2,000 for Possession of Marijuana less than 20 ounces in a Drug Free Zone. Torres now sits on $17,000 total bond: $10,000 for Manufacture and Delivery of a Controlled Substance Level 3 less than 28 grams in a Drug Free Zone, $5,000 for Possession of a Controlled Substance Level 3 less than 28 grams in a Drug Free Zone, and $2,000 for Possession of Marijuana less than 20 ounces in a Drug Free Zone.
