Deputies reportedly saw several items related to burglaries inside the car and a search warrant was obtained. That’s when deputies said they found 15 grams of methamphetamine “as well as a multitude of items believed to have been stolen in burglaries in Beaumont as well as out in Jefferson County.”
Mabry was booked into the Jefferson County Jail for traffic offenses as well as felony possession of a controlled substance — meth. He was charged with retaliation for threatening bodily injury to the arresting deputy.
