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 Montague County Commissioner’s proclaimed June as Elder Abuse Awareness Month during its Tuesday session.
The court faced a brief agenda following the Memorial Day holiday. Kimberly Davis of the Adult Protective Services team for Montague and Clay County presented the proclamation.

Davis explained elder abuse comes in many forms both physical, mental and financial, impacting men and women, old and younger and from all ethnic and economic backgrounds. Commissioners approved the proclamation and thanked Davis for her work.
