The DA referred to the nine charges of Third-Degree Theft and one charge of Second-Degree Theft that Reed acquired between January 25, 2020, and February 3, 2021. During that window, he was also charged with two counts of Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance.

Broussard cited the case Shabazz v. State and stated that “It is well-settled that a Defendant, while normally entitled to a bond in a noncapital case, can forfeit that right to bond by affirmative evidence of felonious activity subsequent to making a bond.”
