A Broken Arrow football and wrestling coach was arrested in connection to selling cocaine.

Tulsa Police served a search warrant at Pearlie Graves’ apartment in relation to an ongoing illegal narcotic distribution investigation.

Officials were investigating another person, Deandre Bullard, for illegally distributing narcotics in Tulsa.

During the investigation, officials learned Graves was a co-conspirator, according to an affidavit.

Search warrants were issued for Bullard’s Facebook account where messages were uncovered about narcotic sales being conducted at Graves’ residence at the Autumn Ridge Apartment complex.

Officials believe Bullard sent several messages to various people between November 2023 and March 2024 saying he was selling drugs from the apartment.

Graves is facing one count of unlawful possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute.

Graves entered a plea of not guilty.

His bond was set at $10,000 and a preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 6.
