Dontrell Stephens faces multiple drug-related charges, including selling heroin, marijuana and cocaine, according to Palm Beach County Jail records. Details about the arrest, including where the sale allegedly occurred, were not immediately available Thursday evening.

Jack Scarola, Stephens’ attorney during the civil trial, said that since the sheriff’s office appealed the federal jury’s verdict, Stephens has not seen any of the money from the lawsuit and has no resources of his own.

He said he didn’t know the circumstances surrounding Stephens’ arrest and isn’t suggesting any excuse for what Stephens is accused of, but said that if Stephens was compelled to sell drugs as alleged, “he was pushed to financial desperation by an unreasonable position of the sheriff’s office.”
