Board Meets To Discuss Fate Of Arrested Meals On Wheels Director
Tuesday night, we told you the stunning news - the Executive Director of Meals On Wheels in East Texas was arrested with "ice" methamphetamine and marijuana in his truck.
<snip>
It was shocking to him that Powell was busted for drug possession, along with his brother Kent Powell. Plyler is also disappointed that when Kent was lying to cops about who he was, Mike didn't set them straight.

Mike Powell told KLTV in an interview Tuesday night that Kent admits to having the drugs in the truck that night, and he didn't know his brother also had a warrant for arrest.

As troubling to Jim Plyler is that Mike Powell didn't tell anyone at Meals On Wheels what happened three weeks ago. They learned about it only from our story Tuesday night.

Mike Powell has been executive director since 1990, and is the son of Paul Powell, former pastor of Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler and present dean of the Truett Seminary at Baylor University.
