A picture may be worth a thousand words, but one particular photo posted on social media may prove to be worth time behind bars for an Arkansas man following his arrest by Springhill police on multiple charges.

Chief of Police Will Lynd said 54-year-old Law Lawezleon Munchete Davis of Waldo has been booked on charges of racketeering, possession of CDS Sch. II (methamphetamines), theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen things and fugitive warrant from Columbia County, Arkansas.

Davis is being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center. No bond has been set.

Davis reportedly was arrested earlier this week after a Springhill resident reportedly notified Springhill police that he spotted a UHaul truck and trailer which had been posted on a social media site as stolen in Arkansas.

Reports say officers found the vehicle parked at a business on Hwy. 371, contacted Davis, the alleged driver, and questioned him. While officers reportedly ran his identification and conducted a safety search of the suspect, a pipe used for smoking methamphetamines fell to the ground as he removed his coat.

Officers also found a large amount of suspected methamphetamines in a black box tucked inside the coat the suspect was wearing.

During a subsequent search of the UHaul, officers reportedly located a pair of motorcycles, one dirt bike, numerous household items and several sets of golf clubs.

Police learned one of the motorcycles had been stolen in Springhill; the other in Texarkana, Texas. Officers reportedly obtained video footage showing the suspect taking a motorcycle from a Springhill residence on Hwy. 371 and loading it into the UHaul.

A business owner in the area where the vehicle was parked reportedly told police the suspect had attempted to sell him the trailer and a welding machine.

More information came to police the following day when a victim whose storage unit had been broken into came to police with a list of items taken. Investigators identified items found inside the truck which reportedly were stolen from the storage unit.

According to police reports, Davis has a criminal history that includes several burglary and theft charges, plus charges for possession of illegal narcotics. Lynd said the investigation of the incident is continuing.

This information has been provided by a law enforcement agency as public information. Persons named as suspects in a criminal investigation, or arrested and charged with a crime, have not been convicted of any criminal offense and are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
