SO executes search warrant, jail three, seize drugs
The execution of a search warrant in Sunset Friday afternoon saw three people arrested on second-degree drug charges and amounts of liquid and crystal methamphetamine seized.
Montague County Sheriff Sgt./Investigator Ethan Romine said the warrant was executed in a joint effort with Bowie Police Friday at 1 p.m. on June 10 at 219 Hubbard Road. This was the second time this year a raid was conducted at this residence where drugs were found, following a previous raid in 2021.
Romine said in this ongoing investigation the information they received indicated methamphetamine was being distributed at the house.
He explained things were a bit chaotic as they made a forced entry to the house after announcing themselves, with one male suspect fleeing the house and another suspect appeared to have thrown drug paraphernalia out of a window into the yard area.
Three people were arrested at the scene on drug complaints, one for evading and one for unlawful possession of a firearm.

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.
