Search warrant nets 1 arrest, methamphetamine
A 37-year-old Bowie man suspected of drug trafficking was arrested during a search warrant execution at his home at 131 Long Street on July 12.
Montague County Sheriff Marshal Thomas said his office has been conducting a length investigation into Roy Daniel Mead for possible drug sales. A Crime Stopper tip also assisted.
The warrant was executed shortly before 5 p.m. Thomas said Bowie Police Department assisted with manpower during the search.
Items seized at the residence included approximately 8.5 grams of methamphetamine packaged for individual sale with a set of scales. There also were two ounces of liquid believed to contain meth and 300 grams of liquid that field tested positive for meth.
Mead was arrested on complaints of manufacture of a controlled substance one-four grams and manufacture /delivery of a controlled substance four to 200 grams. His bonds totaled $100,000 and as of Tuesday he remained in jail.
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.
