AUSTIN (KXAN) \u2014 A Williamson County jury has convicted a Cedar Park man on a cocaine possession charge.<\/p>\n
Jurors found 45-year-old Haybert Ronald Lee guilty on September 22 after prosecutors said officers discovered more than five grams of cocaine inside a Cedar Park home where he was not allowed to be.<\/p>\n
According to court records, Lee was arrested earlier this year after his girlfriend called 911 and reported he was inside her home despite a protective order prohibiting him from being there.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found Lee inside the home. Investigators said a bag containing what appeared to be cocaine was found near larger bags of the drug, along with a digital scale and two identification cards belonging to Lee. Testing by the Texas Department of Public Safety later confirmed the substance was cocaine.<\/p>\n
Lee denied ownership of the drugs, claiming they belonged to a teenager living in the home.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors also cited Lee\u2019s criminal history, which includes convictions for robbery, assaulting a public servant, and a 2025 assault involving a former girlfriend. At the time of his arrest, he was also out on bond in a separate assault case involving his current girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Lee was sentenced to 30 years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN (KXAN) \u2014 A Williamson County jury has convicted a Cedar Park man on a cocaine possession charge.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":449634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-449633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/449634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
