Brandon Lucius has posted $5,000 bond after his Aug. 3 arrest for allegedly inflicting serious injury domestic abuse battery, the latest of his in and outs with the penal system.

Lucius, 43, of Deville was most recently charged with possession of les than two grams of fentanyl, carfentanil. Arrested on Feb. 21 this year, he posted bond on March 20 and was released.

Last August he was in jail a day before making $10,000 bail on an attempted carjacking charge.

Those accusations pale in comparison to those of three years earlier.

On May 19, 2019, he was booked on charges of alleged 1st degree rape, false imprisonment, domestic abuse battery strangulation, 2nd degree battery and violation of protective order violent, second and subsequent.

He had been released from jail on March 22 after posting $2,000 bond on a charge of possession of CDS II and IV.

He was held on the May charges until October 2019, when he posted $195,000 bond, not appearing in jail records again until the alleged carjacking try.
