One of the photos included Honeycutt holding broken furniture, which appeared to be a table leg that said “Senate Property.” In one of the selfie videos shot by Honeycutt, he said “it’s about to go down.”
Honeycutt, who is a father of three and a bail bondsman, admitted to smoking marijuana yesterday so he won’t be released from custody Thursday night.
