An Austin man who was found carrying crack cocaine and heroin after a domestic incident in July was sentenced Thursday to two years in prison.

Melvin Tyrone Bush, 48, will receive credit for 179 days already served in jail. He was convicted of fifth-degree drug possession. Charges related to the reported domestic incident were dismissed when Bush pleaded guilty to the drug charge.

According to a court complaint, police were called to the 500 block of Sixth Avenue SE for a domestic assault report around 1:30 a.m. on July 4. A juvenile witness told police Bush had punched an 11-year-old who was sleeping on the couch because Bush didn’t like that he was sleeping there.

When the officers searched Bush, they found a baggy containing crack cocaine in his pocket. The court complaint stated an officer had to pry the bag out of Bush’s hand because he wouldn’t turn it over.

K-9 Bosco located several baggies of crack cocaine, tinfoil bindles containing a small amount of cocaine and a bag of .2 grams of heroin. Police said 3.6 grams of cocaine were found in total. Officers also found a scale in the house and $197 cash in Bush’s pocket. Bush must also pay a fine of $135.
