Terrell Woods, a Memphis man out on a hefty $500,000 bond for the murder of a 4-year-old child, finds himself back in police custody following a drug raid. During the bust on May 23, authorities detained four people including Woods at a duplex on North Watkins Street, where a cache of illegal substances was found, as reported by Action News 5. Police confiscated various controlled substances along with firearms and cash — presenting charges against Woods that include possession of marijuana, crack cocaine, ecstasy, and related paraphernalia, as well as charges concerning firearms possession.
Investigators narrated to detectives how they discovered marijuana on a side table in one of the suspect's bedrooms. In the admitted possession of one of the individuals det, detectives continued their search, turning up a gram of marijuana in a purse and 0.2 grams of crack cocaine packaged in foil. The affidavit further details the finding of three firearms in the living room, along with clear bags containing marijuana and more foil-wrapped packets of crack, as detailed by Action News 5.
Woods, who has a prior criminal record, once pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance in 2003, resulting in a probation sentence, according to Action News 5. The gravity of the current charges against him includes being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun and possession of a firearm during an attempt to commit a dangerous felony.
Three years before this incident, Woods had been implicated in a chilling episode where he was charged with first-degree murder after allegedly opening fire on a van, tragically striking a four-year-old boy seated in his car seat — an event also catching the father and two other men in the crossfire, as per WREG.
With substantial prior charges compounded by his most recent arrest, Woods is scheduled to reappear in court on July 25, as noted by Action News 5.
