Fitts was arrested last June by the Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force for Drug Trafficking. He made a $100,000 cash bond, but was transported to the Dallas County Jail after being arraigned on June 11. Dallas County District Court Judge Bob Armstrong revoked his bond on pending drug charges in Dallas County.

Fitts has a history of arrests in Dallas County. On June 23, 2018, Fitts was charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
