It pays to be polite.Sowders and other officers entered the home about 90 miles northwest of Houston without knocking just before 6 a.m. Authorities were looking for guns and marijuana.
I think it would also pay to give up on Prohibition. Who wants to be the last cop shot in a pot raid? Hell. Who wants to be the next one?Magee is still in custody in neighboring Washington County, but should be soon released on bond since he only faces a marijuana possession charge, DeGuerin said.
Renken said her office would "fully prosecute" that case.
BTW the officers found the gun (the hard way) and also found the pot. Magee was not charged with murder. He was charged with the pot and the gun.
