ELDORADO—We received confirmation from official sources yesterday that there was indeed a meth bust in Eldorado Monday night, and a man involved just happens to be the brother of newly-convicted sex offender Brian Bowlby.
(George) Jeff Bowlby
George Jeffery Bowlby, 39, was arrested Monday night on a report of alleged meth manufacturing. That’s about as far as we know about it right now; there have been no formal charges filed that we can ascertain.
A source close to the investigation reports that a substance found in the location is being tested to determine whether there is meth in it (there are quite a few lookalike substances, and in fact, we’ve only just recently learned that you can “cook” steroids just like you can “cook” meth…although to what end, we’re still trying to determine.)
Nevertheless, we’ve confirmed that Bowlby is being held at the Saline County Detention Center. We’re not sure of the bond; however, no one has been able to post it for him, so either it might be quite high, or those around him just aren’t of the fiscal means to be able to front it. Formal charges will likely be filed today.
Jeff Bowlby’s brother, Brian, is being held in the same facility; he’ll be sentenced on his multiple-count child sex abuse conviction, issued last week, in April.
