Child pornography warrants served in Bowie by Hood County officials
Law officers from Hood County Wednesday served warrants on a woman living in Bowie who was charged on complaints of promotion of child pornography and possession of child pornography for alleged incidents in Hood County.
Arrested at 8:44 p.m. on July 26, was Vanita Erlene Romine, 56, who reportedly listed her address as 424 Elba, which is the residence of her sister Linda Romine who operates a day care at her home.
Bowie Police Detective Josh Wolfe said he has little knowledge of the case from Hood County other than the indictments related to specific incidents in Hood County with a specific person that occurred two or three years ago.
“There is no evidence this suspect did anything here or any local child was harmed. She was staying with her sister, who told us she knew nothing about the allegations. Romine and their mother recently had to leave their previous housing and moved in with her temporarily we were told” said Wolfe.
The BPD detective added on Friday there is no current investigation and no allegations made that would open an official investigation for any crimes taking place in Bowie. Romine remained in the county jail as of Friday with $70,000 in total bond on a hold from Hood County awaiting bond conditions.
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on June 16.
The big item on the agenda is the review of superintendent candidate applications and consider possible interview choice. Superintendent Blake Enlow resigned on May 23 and Assistant Superintendent Lee Ann Farris has been serving as the interim.
That item will be in executive session along with professional educator contracts that need to be considered.
On the regular agenda Farris will update the board on education bills passed by the 89th Texas Legislature and their budget impacts, as well as discipline impacts. A budget workshop will be considered. She also will provide information on state assessment and board goals.
Campus administrators and directors will provide updates, along with the finance director.
In action items the board will review Texas Association of School Board update 124, consider changes to the 12-month and 11 employee dates and consider the purchase of a new band trailer not to exceed $80,000.
Due to the June 19 Juneteenth federal holiday the U.S. Post Office will be closed, which moves then Thursday Bowie News to a delivery date on Friday. It will be available in the stores at its regular time.
