A Drew County jury convicted and sentenced Korey Lee Davis, 46, of Monticello, to life imprisonment plus 245 years in the Arkansas Department of Correction following a two-day jury trial held October 20–21, 2026. The State was represented at trial by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Kelley E. Fortenberry, while Davis was represented by Will James and Dalton Orsborn of the James Law Firm in Little Rock.

The case stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Tenth Judicial District Drug Task Force. On February 25, 2025, officers with the Tenth Judicial District Drug Task Force, the Drew County Sheriff’s Office, the Monticello Police Department, the Ashley County Sheriff’s Department, and the Arkansas Department of Community Correction executed a search warrant at a residence on East Watts Street in Monticello, Arkansas. During the execution of the search warrant, Davis was located inside the residence along with suspected illegal narcotics, drug-distribution paraphernalia, and multiple firearms. The seized substances were submitted to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory for testing. Laboratory results confirmed the presence of over 250 grams of ethamphetamine, over 200 grams of a cutting agent, over 20 grams of cocaine, over 2 grams of amphetamine, and over 4 ounces of marijuana.
