Hayes is being held at Saline County Justice Facility on a $10,000 cash-only bond after Marshall police searched his residence and found just under 30 grams of marijuana, individually packaged, along with other items associated with the sale of the drug.
Marshall police officers were assisted in the search by Boomer, the K-9 "officer" who came to Marshall's police department last summer.
According to an incident report filed with the probable cause statement, Hayes said a friend had given him the marijuana.
Hayes is scheduled to appear before Judge James T. "Tut" Bellamy Wednesday, Nov. 18.
According to unofficial online court records, Hayes pleaded guilty to class C felony possession of marijuana in 2003 and is currently on probation for that offense. He also pleaded guilty to driving without a valid license in 2003 and 2004, and served 10-day jail sentences for each of those offenses.
Conviction of the charges against him could put Hayes in Missouri Department of Corrections for 5 to 15 years.
Charges contained in reports provided by law enforcement officials are not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting charges must be presented before a jury, whose duty is to determine if the accused is guilty or not guilty of the charges.

Everyone on here has their own opinion but honestly I'm going to keep mine to myself cause he gonna get out and his wife and kids gonna be so happy to see him so you ignorant people keep on arguing cause you will be the ones looking dumb when he is home spending time with his family...so why dont you guys get a life outside the paper and do something with your lives.
Miss Marple,
Go argue with a mirror! Please get a life outside of the paper!
Why do you assume I've never been the victim of a crime? How would you know? And what in the world is a "liberal response," for heaven's sake? Or do you think that anyone who disagrees with you has a liberal point of view?
What you do more of than anything is set up a straw man and knock him down. That may fly as a debate tactic in high school, but you'll need more than that in the real world, especially in the courtroom, the location where you'll be doing most of your work, as a lawyer.
Miss Marple,
God forbid that nothing criminal ever happens to you or someone you know. I would hope the judge on the case would not just slap them on the hand and throw a little probation their way. Then if they violate that probation and attack someone else, that same judge will really be upset and throw a little more probation at them. Oh and when they do it again, shucks slap them with some more probation, that will teach them!
I think I make my point! So go ahead and say my point of view is so out of line and you have a better suggestion. I'll be waiting for the liberal response...
And who are you that we need to listen to your ranting over and over and over about probation? I think it's odd (and funny) that you apparently think Ms. Fairchild is the only person who finds your comments repetitive.
Pretty sure I didn't say anything regarding my, possession or lack thereof, of legal skills - that's your bag. But I can read, and instead of barking at the moon about probation, I did my homework and learned something about it.
Miss Marple,
I like your new name your commenting under. Thought you claimed to know nothing about the legal system? Like I said same old personal grind under a new name!
Just for your information, maybe I don't agree with the same liberal suggestions that you do.
Who are you that I have to explain anything to? Get a life outside the paper!
Gumby, it's easy to find your comments merely by clicking on crime stories and even a computer idiot can figure that out.
Sarcastic comments on my part are no worse than the sarcastic comments on yours. You claim legal expertise (announcing you are a recent MU law school grad), but we haven't seen any of it from you yet.
You can make any comments you like about probation, but the fact is that the trend in punishment these days is to keep offenders out of jail, not to lock them up. Treatment in the community is preferred over incarceration, especially for first-time offenders and non-violent offenses. In your capacity as a recent law school graduate, I don't think it's unreasonable that we should expect you to know that.
Miss Marple,
I'm intrigued that you take such an interest in my comments. You stated you were new to this site, but seem to know every comment I've made?
They do teach criminal law at MU and I know a smug comment when I read one, Quote: "So Gumby is now the authority on "recent court cases" in Saline County? Well, gee, I guess I didn't know that."
Where did I ever state this? I made a simple comment about a judge giving probation on top of probation on top of probation and never holding the defendant accountable and you start in with your sarcastic comments.
It's very obvious that you are making old jabs under a new hat??? Go argue with yourself......
Good job to MPD and Boomer.
What an asset to the City of Marshall.
Sorry drug dealers and users, Boomer is on to ya, Hahahahaha...
workingmom,
Don't lose any sleep or waist your time trying to figure the mess he/she (dontwryboutit)blogged.
It is what it is......a headache!!
Gumby, I don't see where I've been rude to you, or at least I've been no ruder than you have sometimes been to others.
You say that you are an MU law school graduate. I asked if you had taken any criminal law classes, for one thing, and you didn't answer.
I suggested you should read Missouri sentencing guidelines, and I don't think that's rude, certainly it's not in the nature of ranting.
And this IS English I'm speaking.
Wow-- reading dontwryboutit's comments made me wonder if we had moved from Marshall into the innercity-- guess I needed a lesson in Ebonics first because I was unable to grasp the whole message of his post
Miss Marple,
Would you please say that again in english! I don't recall you asking a question. All I see you posted was rude comments and some sort of agenda I've yet to figure out? So please rephrase your question in english as I can't seem to locate a question from you!
dontwryboutit,
I am usually the first person to jump to another's defense when the couch-cushion English professors and spelling nazis start to attack. But even I have to tell you, reading that mess you wrote left me feeling like I just crawled from under a train...that wrecked....off a bridge...into a river....into a mile-deep canyon...and exploded just before it hit the water. I seriously think I developed a brain bleed.
Personally, I hope the investigators will learn that Hayes worked in the kitchen at the high school and be able to stick him with carrying dope with intent to distribute within 1000 feet of a public school.
If you can't answer the question, Gumby, I'm not worried. Marshall's got plenty of lawyers who can.
Miss Marple,
Just what point are you attempting to make? New on here, I think Not!
Here's your quote:
So Gumby is now the authority on "recent court cases" in Saline County? Well, gee, I guess I didn't know that. But it does look like maybe Gumby should read Missouri's sentencing guidelines before ranting about probation. I guess that's not included in the MU law school curriculum.
Not claiming any legal expertise...Really? Then what are you claiming. I think you are just badgering under another user name???
A little touchy, aren't you, Gumby? I'm new here. I'm not claiming any legal expertise, but I see that you have, so I think you should be the one to provide the answers.
Or didn't you get into criminal law when you were at MU getting your law degree?
Miss Marple,
Did you just change or ad another name on here, your ranting and personal attacks toward me sounds very familiar? Please advise us with your wisdom of the law, just what guidelines you are familiar with that would justify probabtion on probation on probation? Please let us all know where it is written! I beleive you are attempting to say something, just don't know how to say it maybe??
Keep flippin my burgers.. Im getting hungry!
They let anybody graduate these days!!! You write your english papers the same way?? Something you didn't seem to "worry about" was (your education)!!!!!
Um im right here!!! but im done arguin wit yall idiots just stop makin a big deal bout 30 grams of WEED dang its just weed it would be different if it was a whole room full...and how we know yall wasnt buying from him
Curious...what do the sentencing guidelines say about giving someone probation for an offense they already have probation for???? Please enlighten all us with your law knowledge Miss Marple!!

Let's just legalize it and move on.

You know gumby nobody care if you was making it towards the courts cuz first off you dont need to put yo input on anything...if you read wat i said then you would know dat...all yall ppl worried bout some petty weed when yall need to be worried bout da otha stuff going on here in marshall...and if you wouldnt be talkin trash bout if dey did dey job da first time there wouldnt be no need for dez comments den there wouldnt be any
thank you have a nice day :)
If the Courts would do their job the first time, then there wouldn't be a need to be making these comments now!
Miss Marple, dontwryboutit,
I guess you two never read the recent court cases from Saline County do you? If you are able to read, I was making reference to those court cases and what will probably continue to happen...
Next time try making any sense in your comment, if you have something to say, say it!
I feel ya miss marple
Yall worried bout sum petty less den 30 grams of "marijuana" and there should be sum real real crime fought by BIG BOOMER and the MPD 4 example CRACK METH and all dat
Gosh, with you out there, Gumby, why in the world do we bother with going through the courts at all?
The Judge will just throw some more probation on him and run the charge concurrent with all of his other past and present charges. That will teach him....Right!
There's nothing better than the old double probation punishment to keep somebody on the right path...
