Arrest Record

Cedric Cobbs and another man attempted to obtain drugs by passing a forged prescription from Dr. Columbus Brown IV for 180 Roxicodones, the release states. Bryant Police spokesman Sgt. Todd Crowson said an employee noticed an irregularity in the prescription itself and called police. When police arrived, Cobbs and Hunt were seen getting into their vehicle and fleeing, according to the report. Authorities stopped the vehicle around Springhill Crossing off Arkansas 5. Cobbs, who is identified in the release as the driver of the vehicle, was arrested and charged with conspiracy to obtain drugs by fraud, fleeing and driving on a suspended driver’s license, the release states.

On July 17, 2015, Cedric Cobbs was booked into Pulaski County Jail on a first degree charge of promoting prostitution. Records show Cobbs drove a woman to an Americas Best Value Inn & Suites at 14325 Frontier Drive in Maumelle, where she had arranged with a person who was actually an undercover police officer "to have sex for money." Cobbs reportedly waited in the parking lot and was arrested.

The report noted police found a pipe used to smoke methamphetamine in the vehicle's center console as well as a second pipe, prescription pills and meth in the woman's purse.
