RADE said these arrests stem from a previous investigation that recently resulted in the arrest of Hicks back on Jan. 11. RADE said he was found to be in possession of illegal narcotics, a firearm and $9,219 in cash. He was able to post his $125,000 bond and was released from jail on Jan. 13.

As their investigation continued after Hick’s release from jail, RADE agents were able to determine possible narcotics activity coming from a home Hicks shared with Nevills on Kees Avenue.

On Jan. 24, RADE agents executed a search warrant. Agents said both Hicks and Nevills were present at the home and had several illegal drugs and money in their possession. Agents also searched a vehicle at the home belonging to Boyd. They said Boyd was found to be in possession of several illegal drugs and a gun. Boyd is a convicted felon and is currently prohibited from possessing a firearm.

All three were booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center. Hicks was released on Jan. 31 on a $77,000 bond. Nevills was released on Jan. 24 on a $30,500 bond. Boyd was released on Jan. 31 on a $66,000 bond.
