BPD investigates robbery, teen robbed at gunpoint
Bowie Police are investigating an aggravated robbery where a teen was reportedly threatened by gunpoint for money and jewelry.
Police Chief Guy Green said the alleged incident was reported shortly after midnight on Saturday by Kristi Dawn, 1507 Linda. Police were told her son, age 15, said he heard a noise in the house between 9 and 10 p.m., when three men walked into his room. He said one threatened him with a gun, told him to lay on the floor and they took $200 from his wallet and two necklaces.
Green said the teen did not report it immediately because he allegedly was scared to call police because he smoked marijuana. His mother reported it when she arrived home that evening. Police said they believe the incident may have been prompted by an Instagram post by the teen which reportedly showed the money and necklaces.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
