Additional charges have been filed against a Waldo, Arkansas man who was arrested last week by Springhill police after a stolen UHaul truck filled with stolen items was discovered on a business parking lot.
Lawezleon Munchete Davis, 54, who is currently incarcerated at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center, reportedly was served Wednesday at the prison on an active warrant for simple burglary and racketeering. Bond on the two charges was set at $40,000, upping his total bond on all charges to $90,250.
Davis was booked for racketeering, possession of CDS Sch. II (methamphetamines), theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen things and fugitive warrant from Columbia County, Arkansas following his Feb. 11 arrest.
He reportedly was arrested after a Springhill resident notified Springhill police that he spotted a UHaul truck and trailer which had been posted on a social media site as stolen in Arkansas.
During a search of the UHaul, officers reportedly located a pair of motorcycles, one dirt bike, numerous household items and several sets of golf clubs.
