Investigators arrested Riggs and transported him to Henderson County Justice Center charged with Manufacture/Delivery of a Controlled Substance over 200grams, under 400grams, a first degree felony.

On May 9, 2009, at approximately 10:43 p.m., Henderson County Deputies Duane Sanders, and Cliff Arnold responded to a report of a vehicle versus pedestrian accident at the intersection of Westwood Beach Drive and FM 315.

HCSO Investigator Bryan Tower was called to the scene and investigated the incident. During the investigation, Tower learned that there had been an argument between Golightly and Bartlett at the intersection of Westwood Beach and FM 315.
