Press release
On Wednesday morning, Ray Glenn Followwell, 50 formerly of Seven Points, pled guilty to Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Assistant District Attorney Justin Weiner prosecuted the case on behalf of Scott McKee’s District Attorney’s Office. Followwell was sentenced in the 173rd Judicial District Court with Judge Dan Moore presiding.
Followwell was indicted by a Henderson County Grand Jury following an investigation by Henderson County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Wick Gabbard.
On November 18 of last year, Gabbard obtained and executed a narcotics search warrant on Followwell’s residence off of CR 2428 in Henderson County. Investigators Kay Langford, Billy Jack Valentine, Brad Gray, John Long, Cayce Hampton, Kendall Wellman, Deputy Kyle Pochobradsky and Captain Bryan Tower assisted in the execution of the warrant.
Multiple individuals were detained and several arrests were made. Followwell, who had several outstanding felony warrants, attempted to flee the scene. He was found hiding under a pile of boxes and clothes. Followwell ignored verbal commands when he was found and attempted to hide an amount of cash and Methamphetamine. Additional narcotics were found in Followwell’s garage between mattresses in his bedroom, along with more cash and digital scales. Over three grams of Methamphetamine were recovered pursuant to the search.
“Since Sheriff Nutt and I took office, we made a commitment to the citizens of this county that we would aggressively investigate and prosecute folks like Followwell that poison our community with meth,” said McKee. “Our county becomes a little safer each time a drug dealer is sent to prison.”

If you are going to post NEWS it should be correct. This is not what happened, and it is wrong yes, he took 10 yrs, but the article that was written about him, is a bunch of crap. He did not hide in garage, and you did not find the amount of drugs, and you might need to know there is no methamphatetamine any more only amphatetamine if your going to write a news you should write it correctly. (They did not find this in my house only a pipe that belong to someone else and had warrants and in the bathroom, a pipe and a called rock, but Ray had not been even in the house and they found pipe and rock with someone that had warrants and the girl, also had warrants also, in the garage they did not find Ray hiding, eiither, with 1 other boy that did have warrants but they did not take anyone but Ray and this one boy they did not know, he had tickets, they let everyone go, If you are going to put something out there, Ray had nothing on him, and the ones that they found they let go and they had warrants, He signed for 10 yrs but he was not guilty of any dope charge, but everyone else went and got in there cars and left, They put everything on Ray, and if you are going to write something up, about what happened get the full story, not just what you think people might want to know. It is a shame, and disgrace, to write lies, and then brag about what a good job the officers has done such a great job, he has been in jail over a year now, and he did get 10 yrs but if you are going to tell a story and brag about how great of a job, they should put the real truth, everything they found on the other people, they let them go, I hate drugs and never myself ever done nothing and have norecord of anytime. But if you are going to write upstuff in thepaper and computer for people to read tell the truth, and like it really was, He had nothing, but was charged with whatever they claim they found from the other people, noone
wants to hear nothing but the truth,
If you want the real truth then put it out there, instead of bragging on what all they did, I believe in the truth, and the way it happened, and its not right him taking charges for other people, I’m Rays mother, but it has nothing to do with what is right and what is wrong, and put on the computer, but if you are going to be in the news business then it should be correct not just to make the officers look good, I know they have a hard job but the truth is much better than making stuff up, May the Lord forgive them, whoever wrote this stuff up, people believe what they read but you can’t believe nothing the real truth is not in any paper or computer, to make them look good, we have alot of officers that are good, but we have alot you have to wonder about.

Wow. It’s like the war on drugs all over again. It never deterred drug use anyway. The areas that punish the harshest have the highest use rates. The “Meth Belt” is a social disease. Every region has it’s subculture or outcast. This DA looks like a throw back.
