Two men jailed after reported ‘drug deal’ at Pelham
Dustin Houston
Two Bowie men were jailed Wednesday afternoon after police observed them in what they called a “drug transaction” going on in the Pelham Park Pavilion.
Sgt. Bob Blackburn said the investigation began Wednesday morning when the officer developed information on the expected delivery of marijuana at the park during the afternoon.
Blackburn, Officers Cody Stone and Travis Fuller, and Deputy Chase Pelton and K9 Ace had the area under surveillance at the reported time of the delivery.
Blackburn said the suspects were very brazen conducting their delivery of weed in the middle of a busy park full of families and children.
The two suspects left the scene and were stopped by police near the park.
Taken into custody were: Zachary Taylur Kimbrell, 23, and Dustin James Houston, 28.

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.
