A $5,000 bond was set Thursday for a Pine Bluff man on a drug related allegation.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Richard Cantwell, 41, with possession of a controlled substance methamphetamine.
Reading from an affidavit by White Hall Police Investigator Charles Treadway, Deputy Prosecutor Katelyn Phillips explained the allegation against Cantwell.
Cantwell pleaded guilty to not wearing a seat belt and was told to come back to court Aug. 10. He said he would hire his own attorney.
