A “baker’s dozen” of suspects were arrested this week in a Bowie Police Department warrant roundup for various drug complaints.
Sgt. Bob Blackburn said a pair were arrested late last week when the known suspects were seen by police, but the remainder were arrested Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Two of the suspects remain at large being sought on outstanding warrants.
The officer called it “operation opening day,” aluding to the start of dove season on Sept. 1. Bowie Police were assisted by Sgt. Ethan Romine and the Montague County Sheriff’s office.
Blackburn explained most of these arrests relate to either previous incidents with the suspects or an ongoing investigation of drug-related activities. Warrants range from first degree felonies to Class A misdemeanors.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
