He remains in the Halifax County Detention Center without the opportunity for bond for pending charges.
On April 22 he is scheduled for a district court appearance for driving while license revoked and an expired tag; on May 23 he is scheduled for a district court appearance on meth and other drug charges; on May 13 he is scheduled for a district court appearance on Thursday’s counts.
