“Off. Hicks made contact with Maxie and was able to place him under arrest and in a patrol unit,” Minden Police Chief Steve Cropper said. “During the booking process, Maxie was searched and found in possession of a counterfeit $100 U.S. bill. It was seized and turned into the property room at MPD.”

Maxie was booked and transported to Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. His bonds total more than $3,000.
