Medford was arrested and transported to the Randolph County Detention Center where the magistrate found probable cause for felony possession of a schedule II controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was issued a $20,000 secured bond and a first appearance was set for August 21, 2023, in Randolph County District Court.
