Around noon on Dec. 18, FLOWERS JR. was taken into custody in Georgia, Vermont, by federal agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, as well as U.S. Marshals, in connection with federal drug investigation. 

He was subsequently ordered by a federal judge to be held pending trial. The Vermont State Police and Franklin County Sheriff’s Department assisted in his apprehension.
