While awaiting resolution of the Sept. 15, 2022 case, Reynolds acquired a number of other charges in several other cases, including assault and battery, to which he pleaded guilty and agreed to drug court treatment.

Also, possession of CDS; possession of drug paraphernalia; transporting opened container of beer/intoxicating beverage; driving with license canceled/suspended/ revoked/ and not wearing a seatbelt.

Also, another charge of driving with license canceled/suspended/revoked which he was hit with on Nov. 11, a month before he pleaded guilty to other charges.

All sentences were suspended as long as he remains in drug court. If he fails drug court, he will spend one year in the county jail.
