Duckworth was taken into custody and charged for first degree criminal possession of a forged instrument, first degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine, a warrant for a parole violation, and two bench warrants for failure to appear. In addition, Durbin was arrested for a parole violation. Duckworth and Durbin were lodged in the Henderson County Detention Center.
