Vontrell Dajour Reeves had two warrants; held currently in Mower County Jail   An Austin man with two warrants for a pair of drug cases has been arrested and charged in a  third during a first appearance in Mower County District Court Monday. Vontrell Dajour Reeves, 28, has been charged with felon y third degree drug possession in a school/park/public housing zone and felony fifth degree drug possession in this most recent case. According to the court complaint, Reeves was arrested on March 29 after an Austin Police Department officer was dispatched to the 100 block of Second Street SE on a report that he was at the residence. When the officer arrived, Reeves was found digging in the garbage outside of the home and was placed under arrest. A search of his person allegedly discovered .5 grams of fentanyl in one of his socks. The home in question was just over 225 feet from Twin Towers, a public housing complex. In a previous case, dating back to November of 2022, Reeves was arrested and charged with two felony counts of third degree narcotic sales as well as felony fourth degree drug possession with the intent to sell. According to the complaint in that case a confidential informant bought 14 M-30 pills from Reeves. A couple months later, in January of 2023, Austin police searched a home in the 100 block of Second Avenue SE and discovered a knotted off baggie containing a large number of the pills. Reeves claimed that he was selling the pills to help the person who leased the residence pay for rent. Reeves pleaded not guilty to the three charges, but amended his plea to guilty on the intent to sell charge in exchange for the remaining charges to be dismissed and that Reeves be released into treatment. However, on March 4 a warrant was issued for failure to appear for a hearing, one of several times throughout the course of the case that Reeves had skipped a hearing. He has since been ordered to be held without bail or bond in Mower County Jail. He is scheduled to be sentenced in this case on Thursday. In a third case, Reeves was charged with fifth degree drug possession, a gross misdemeanor, after he was arrested on Feb. 2 of this year after an officer observed Reeves driving in Austin at around midnight, noting that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. Reeves was tracked to a home in the 100 block of Second Street SE where he was arrested and where he also attempted to drop a folded foil that had a white powdery substance along with a clear unknown substance, which Reeves later allegedly admitted that the white powdery substance was fentanyl that he was holding for somebody else.
