In 2021, Brayboy was convicted of having a controlled substance in a penal institution and served less than three months. Four months later, she was back behind bars on a three-month reimprison violation.
Records show Webb was first convicted in 2011 of damage to property.
In 2013, Webb was convicted of felony breaking and entering and served nearly three months behind bars. By the end of the year, he was back in prison for six months on a post-release revocation.
Webb is currently on parole until Nov. 19, having been released from prison on Feb. 23. He was initially given probation in 2021 when convicted on two counts of delivering or selling a Schedule II controlled substance, but his probation was revoked last November.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
