Both Komer and White were booked into the Oconee County Detention Center. Komer is charged with driving under suspension ($647.50 surety bond), possession of a weapon during a violent crime ($5,000 surety bond), and trafficking in methamphetamine ($25,000 surety bond), bringing his total bond to $30,647.50.

White is charged with possession of a weapon during a violent crime ($5,000 surety bond) and a third or subsequent offense of trafficking in methamphetamine ($30,000 surety bond), setting her total bond at $35,000. She is also being held on an additional detainer for the Williamston Police Department.
