From the desk of Sheriff Scott Bradley

On September 24th, 2016, Deputies from the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office, during a traffic stop in Bee Branch, found illegal drugs in the vehicle. When Deputies told the driver of the vehicle they could smell Marijuana odor coming from the vehicle, the driver who the identified as 52 year old Jay Shannon Reynolds of Arkansas City, told the deputies that there was marijuana in the vehicle. Reynolds was arrested and charged with misdemeanor Simple Possession of a Controlled Substance (Marijuana). Reynold later bonded.

Law enforcement makes arrest on facts they gather. All person are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
