Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – June 2, 2024 – A Blytheville man was sitting in the Craighead County Detention Center on Friday after District Judge Tommy Fowler set his bond at $1 million cash-only.

A probation search of the apartment was conducted, and police found more than 5 ounces of powder cocaine, more than 10 ounces of methamphetamine, 318 grams of marijuana, 1,073 fentanyl pills, mushrooms, ecstasy pills, and digital scales.
