Each Hines remains in jail with Osric’s bond set at $300,000 and Kimberly’s bond set at $100,000.

Osric Hines has at least six previous arrests in Washington Parish on charges including distribution of illegal drugs, possession with intent to distribute illegal drugs, possession of illegal drugs with a weapon present, obstruction of justice, failure to appear in court, convicted felon in possession of a firearm and contempt of court.
