Graham was released on $50,000 bond while awaiting trial.

He allegedly failed to show up for a court hearing on Monday. When he failed to show a second time Wednesday, a Coweta Superior Court judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

According to the Panama City News Herald, the Bay County, Fla., Sheriff’s Office tracked Graham to a hotel and stormed into his hotel room.

Graham was gone, but the officers seized a sawed-off shotgun and ammunition for a .45-caliber pistol, the news report said. They also seized Graham’s truck.
