The Troy Police Department executed a narcotics search warrant Friday, January 30, in the 300 block of Pace Street as part of an ongoing drug investigation.
According to police, the department’s Emergency Response Team assisted narcotics investigators during the search, where officers recovered more than three pounds of marijuana along with items consistent with the illegal sale of marijuana.
As a result of the investigation, Brandon Jamal Maddox, 29, of Troy, was arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana. Maddox was initially transported to the Troy City Jail for processing and later transferred to the Pike County Jail, where he is being held on a $50,000 bond.
The Troy Police Department praised the efforts of its narcotics investigators and Emergency Response Team, stating their continued work is vital in combating illegal drug activity and maintaining public safety throughout the community.
Dothan Police are asking for the public’s help as investigators continue to probe last week’s murder of local businessman Blake Bowen.
In a statement released by the Dothan Police Department, investigators said they are seeking information from anyone who may have seen suspicious activity or individuals in several areas on Friday, January 30, 2026, between 6:20 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.
Police say the areas of interest include:
Fortner Street (between Ross Clark Circle and Bob Hall Road)
Bob Hall Road
Trawick Road (between Bob Hall Road and the Geneva County line)
Geneva County Road 68 (between the Houston County line and Fondren Road)
“We are trying to gather any additional information that could aid investigators,” said Lt. Scott Owens with the Dothan Police Department.
Police have charged Michael T. Taylor, 24, in connection with Bowen’s shooting, alleging robbery as the motive.
Meanwhile, the Houston County District Attorney’s Office has asked a judge to revoke Taylor’s probation stemming from previous burglary convictions. Officials say the revocation request is largely procedural, as Taylor is currently being held without bond and is unlikely to receive one.
A judge is expected to approve the probation revocation within the next few days.
Anyone with information related to the case is urged to contact the Dothan Police Department or submit tips anonymously through CrimeStoppers.
TAYLOR: The City of Taylor has a Personnel Manual that they feel is not public record. Well, the Acting Chief of Police, Magistrate and some other female in Magistrate Office does not feel it is public.
So here it is. Taylor Mayor Robert Lamb got mad on Tuesday evening when it was mentioned and he said that he had only been Mayor for three months and can not be expected to know everything. HOWEVER, Mayor Robert Lamb was Code Enforcement Officer, drove a City of Taylor Code Enforcement truck, prior to resigning to seek election as Mayor. A document is suppose to be signed that the new employee has been given a copy and read the manual. So Mayor Robert Lamb has NO EXCUSE!!!
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Deputy Robert (Rob) Johnson Jr., who bravely fought a courageous battle with cancer.
Deputy Johnson began his law enforcement career on January 18, 2005, and dedicated more than two decades of his life to serving and protecting the citizens of Houston County. Rob was the kind of deputy every agency hopes for—professional, dependable, and deeply committed to his duty. More importantly, he was a friend to everyone he met, always willing to help, listen, or lend a hand.
Rob truly loved serving his community and took great pride in wearing the badge. His impact reached far beyond the walls of our department and into the lives of the citizens he served each and every day.
Please keep Deputy Johnson’s family, friends, and our law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Rest easy, Rob. Your service and dedication will never be forgotten. We’ve got it from here brother.🖤💙 EOW 2/4/2026
