There are a number of causes deserving of $9 million—a drug dealer named Hot Sauce who needs to get out of jail is not necessarily one of them. One woman, the woman who is engaged to be wed to him, gave it to him anyway, though.
Marie Holmes won the lottery in February, WWAY reports, taking home $88 million after taxes. Meanwhile, her fiance Hot Sauce (née Lamarr McDow) was arrested for his alleged involvement in a heroin racket in last November. He was released on a $3 million bond—which prosecutors say Holmes paid for, and simple math says yes, the Powerball winner could probably afford to put down a couple million for her man.
But then McDow was arrested again, this time for violating his pre-trial curfew—cops also smelled marijuana in the house when they picked him up, which led to a search warrant, which led to deputies finding a gun and slapping a possession of firearm charge on McDow. Things were not looking great for Hot Sauce at this point.
This time, his bail was sent at $6 million—and it was paid, again, by a mysterious, unidentified source. Less mysterious is the comment Holmes made on Facebook telling other people to their dang business.
She is not surprised, y'all. But cut it out.
