UPDATE – April 5, 2024
On Oct. 8, 2018, in the Justice of the Peace Pct. 2 court the charge of manufacture-delivery of a controlled substance 4-200 grams was dismissed for insufficient evidence.
A 25-year-old Bowie man was arrested on Feb. 18 with more than 15 grams of cocaine and some $2,000 in cash.
Bowie Patrol Officer Cody Stone said he stopped Malachi Morgan Clay in the area of Miller and Elba after he allegedly disregarded a stop sign.
The stop resulted in the arrest of Clay after the officer found 15.4 grams of cocaine hidden in the vehicle, along with a little more than $2,000 in cash.

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.
