Bowie Memorial accepts bid to buy Rick’s Pharmacy; present operators to continue
While Bowie Memorial Hospital deals with its closure, the board sealed a deal to sell Rick’s Pharmacy, which will continue operation under Jimmy Crumpler.
The longtime pharmacist at Rick’s was the sole bidder for the business inventory.
BMH owns the business and inventory, while the pharmacy building is owned by Crumpler and Rick Rodrigs.
Board members met Friday morning and reviewed the bid, which was for the price of the inventory and equipment. It did not include any accounts receivable, which at the end of last month was about $59,000 according to Kimberly Cooper, comptroller.
The CEO said they did a complete inventory of the pharmacy during the previous two days and estimated a cost of $255,008.08 for the inventory. However, she added that number would change to include activities from Friday. Read the full story on how the board made plans to seek bids and proposals on six properties including the main building. Read the full story in the mid-week News.
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.
