A search warrant was obtained and utilized at the Prairie Townhouse Apartments, at that time Dowhower was arrested for Possession of Methamphetamine with intent to deliver, also a Legend Drug Violation. However Boe was not present and an arrest warrant was issued.

A month later on August 16^th at about 3:30 in the morning Officers from the NPPD responded to Kwik-Stop on E 4^th Street, over the report of a juvenile being assaulted. Officers found out the assault happened near the Poplar Street Viaduct shortly before the complaint.
