A Memphis youth mentor known for helping young people stay on the right path is now facing serious criminal allegations. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office recently arrested Lysander ‘Sam’ Davis, founder and CEO of Memphis Kings, and his son, local rapper Trey Davis, better known as Fresco Trey, during a marijuana trafficking investigation.
The news has left many residents stunned, especially considering Memphis Kings’ long-standing reputation for mentoring youth through sports, recreation, and community programs.
How the Investigation Began
According to court documents, the investigation started on June 9 when narcotics detectives and a K-9 officer were conducting package inspections at a UPS sorting facility. During the operation, the K-9 reportedly alerted officers to two suspicious packages that allegedly emitted a strong odor consistent with marijuana.
Investigators later obtained search warrants for the packages.
Authorities say both boxes contained marijuana and that field tests allegedly confirmed the presence of THC. One package was reportedly destined for a residence on Brower Street, while the other was addressed to a home on Rutland Street.
Law enforcement then began surveillance operations connected to the deliveries.
Sam Davis and Trey Davis Arrested
Investigators say they observed Trey Davis retrieve one of the packages before leaving the area. According to authorities, detectives later tracked the package and received an alert indicating it had been opened.
Court records state that officers approached the residence and detained both Trey Davis and Sam Davis during the investigation.
A subsequent search of the property allegedly uncovered additional marijuana products, THC gummies, a handgun, ammunition, and firearm magazines.
Following the search, both men were taken into custody.
It is important to note that these are allegations, and both men remain presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
Charges Filed Against Father and Son
Authorities charged Sam Davis and Trey Davis with possession of marijuana with intent to sell. They also face charges related to possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.
Reports indicate that Sam Davis was later released on a $30,000 bond, while Trey Davis was released on a $5,000 bond.
The case is expected to move through the Shelby County court system in the coming weeks and months.
As additional evidence and testimony emerge, prosecutors and defense attorneys will likely present competing narratives regarding the circumstances surrounding the investigation.
