Tyler man gets 35 years after teen dies from fentanyl overdose in 2022
TYLER, Texas (KETK) — A Tyler man was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Thursday after a 17-year-old died from a fentanyl overdose in 2022. Texas parents charged with child neglect after infant gains less than 1 lb in six months On Thursday, Billy Bernard Maddox, Jr. pleaded guilty to bail jumping, failure to appear and tampering/fabricating physical evidence with the intent to impair. He was then sentenced to 35 years in prison for the overdose death of the Tyler Teen. He was previously charged with manslaughter in 2023, but the charge was dismissed. KETK News has compiled a timeline of the overdose death and Maddox's arrest: On the afternoon of April 23, 2022, Tyler police detectives were called to a local hospital where a patient had died of an apparent overdose, identified as 17-year-old Preston Hawley. He was brought to the hospital wearing pants, a belt, socks, but no shirt, shoes or cell phone, according to court documents. Maddox, a 'known drug dealer,' was also at the hospital and spoke with detectives. Hawley used to live with Maddox before moving back home with his mom, but continued to hang out with him on the weekends. Maddox told detectives that he and Hawley went to a party around 3 a.m. that day, then went to a house on Loblolly Lane around 5 a.m. to sleep. At that time, documents show that Maddox claimed Hawley was coherent and did not appear to be under the influence of any substances. Maddox explained to police that he attempted to wake Hawley up and assumed Hawley was 'in a deep sleep' when he would not wake up. At that time, Maddox reportedly said he left the Loblolly Lane house to go to the fair in the Broadway Square Mall parking lot before returning and finding that Hawley was still asleep. Tyler man indicted for manslaughter in connection to 17-year-old's overdose death Maddox said he tried to wake Hawley again by throwing water on him and attempting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and at that time could feel a faint pulse and labored breathing. He then called Hawley's mother 'and said Hawley was breathing slowly and his heartbeat is going slow. She told Maddox to get him to the hospital.' With no vehicle to drive, Maddox later told detectives he flagged down a stranger who he claimed was driving through the Loblolly Lane neighborhood. Detectives later found the stranger, who said he was approached by a man at a gas station at Rieck Road and Old Bullard Road. The driver said that when he came out of the gas station, Maddox approached him and said he needed his help to take his friend to the hospital because he believed his friend was overdosing, according to the warrant. Maddox left on foot, and the driver drove his truck to follow him. The driver told a detective that he drove west on Rieck Road before turning into a second driveway of an apartment building, saying 'he observed a young white man lying in the grass unconscious.' The driver put Hawley in the backseat of his truck, also telling authorities that Maddox was 'acting strange and seemed like he was stalling.' The driver said he almost left Maddox because of the time he was wasting. An arrest warrant said that Maddox misled investigators to the wrong location of Hawley's overdose, failed to disclose the location of Hawley's cell phone and moved items out of his apartment the night of and morning after his death. A detective said she had reason to believe that the illegal drugs linked to Hawley's death, including cocaine and fentanyl, were destroyed. , where they saw messages from Maddox: 'Yess we getting all my stuff out my apartment kuz lil bro mom think I had some to do with it' 'Then his mom trynna make it seem like I sold him the pills n I don't sell pills.' Investigators learned that Hawley's toxicology report from his autopsy showed he had cocaine, fentanyl, delta-9 THC and Bromazolam in his system at the time of his death. In September of 2022, Maddox was charged with tampering/fabricating with intent to impair evidence and bonded out the same day. He was later arrested on a manslaughter charge in May of 2022 in connection to the same case. In February of 2025, the U.S. Marshals' Joint East Texas Fugitive Task Force tried to serve a failure-to-appear warrant for a murder charge to Maddox at the Liberty Arms Apartments in Tyler. However, Maddox ran from the scene, but was later caught near County Road 14. Man wanted for murder in fentanyl overdose case arrested in Tyler Maddox was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Thursday for his involvement in the overdose death of Hawley.

I'm 'disappointed but not done' with Putin, Trump tells BBC
Donald Trump has said that he is disappointed but not done with Vladimir Putin, in an exclusive phone call with the BBC. The US president was pressed on whether he trusts the Russian leader, and replied: "I trust almost nobody." Trump was speaking hours after he announced plans to send weapons to Ukraine and warned of severe tariffs on Russia if there was no ceasefire deal in 50 days. In an interview from the Oval Office, the president also endorsed Nato, having once described it as obsolete, and affirmed his support for the organisation's common defence principle. Listen to the full interview on BBC Sounds How Trump woke me up for surprise interview The president made the phone call, which lasted 20 minutes, to the BBC after conversations about a potential interview to mark one year on since the attempt on his life at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Asked about whether surviving the assassination attempt had changed him, Trump said he liked to think about it as little as possible. "I don't like to think about if it did change me," Trump said. Dwelling on it, he added, "could be life-changing". Having just met with Nato chief Mark Rutte at the White House, however, the president spent a significant portion of the interview expanding on his disappointment with the Russian leader. Trump said that he had thought a deal to end the war in Ukraine was on the cards with Russia four different times. Rosenberg: Russia more relieved than rattled by US tariff threat Trump weapons pledge marks major step forward for Ukraine When asked by the BBC if he was done with Putin, the president replied: "I'm disappointed in him, but I'm not done with him. But I'm disappointed in him." Pressed on how Trump would get Putin to "stop the bloodshed" the US president said: "We're working at it, Gary." "We'll have a great conversation. I'll say: 'That's good, I'll think we're close to getting it done,' and then he'll knock down a building in Kyiv." Russia has intensified its drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, causing record civilian casualties. It launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour in 2022. Putin has insisted he also wants peace but has said what he calls the "root causes" of the war must be resolved first. He argues that the war is the result of external threats to Russia's security from Kyiv, Nato and the "collective West". The conversation moved on to Nato, which Trump has previously criticised as "obsolete". He said he did not think that was still the case as Nato "is now becoming the opposite of that" because the alliance was "paying their own bills". Trump said it was "amazing" that Nato leaders had agreed to ramp up defence spending to 5% of their economic output. "Nobody thought that was possible." He said he still believed in collective defence, because it meant smaller countries could defend themselves against larger ones. Trump said that the leaders of countries including Germany, France and Spain, had come to respect him and his decision making, partly because world leaders believed that there was a "lot of talent" in being elected to the presidency twice. When asked whether world leaders were at times "obvious in their flattery", Trump replied that he felt they were "just trying to be nice". President Trump was also asked about the UK's future in the world and said he thought it was a "great place - you know I own property there". Asked if he thought the UK had made the most of Brexit, he said "no", adding: "I think it's been on the sloppy side but I think it's getting straightened out." The president also said of Sir Keir Starmer: "I really like the prime minister a lot, even though he is a liberal", and praised the UK-US trade deal. He said he had a "special bond" with the UK and that was why he had made a deal with the country - "for the most part, in terms of your competitors and in terms of the European Union I haven't made a deal". Trump shrugs off giving UK Parliament speech Nato weapons deal for Ukraine sparks MAGA anger He spoke about how he was looking forward to an unprecedented second state visit to the UK in September this year. On what he wanted to achieve during the visit, Trump said: "Have a good time and respect King Charles, because he's a great gentleman." He said he would not want the UK parliament, which is not sitting during his September visit, to be recalled so he could give a speech there, saying instead that MPs should enjoy their time away: "I think let them go and have a good time." The president also said he had not been concerned by Charles's speech at the opening of Canada's parliament, in which the British monarch - who is Canada's head of state - stressed its sovereignty after Trump had suggested the US could annex the country. "They're wrapped up with Canada so what's he gonna do, you know, he has no choice," the president said, adding: "I thought he was very good, very respectful." He said the US was "negotiating with Canada right now" and it was going to "work out very well". Turning to his domestic agenda, the president said he had done a "great job" on one of his key election pledges - tackling illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border, which have dropped to record lows in the first months of his second term. "I've done actually more than the promises that I've made," he said. His administration has now shifted its focus to the identification, detention and deportation of migrants across the US who are in the country illegally. Pushed on what level of deportations would represent a success, Trump said he would not "put a number" on it, adding: "I want to get the criminals out quickly, and we're doing that." "We're bringing them to El Salvador, lots of other places," he said, referring to the controversial deal which saw the deportation of people the White House called gang members to a prison in the central American country. As for the action by some courts to halt aspects of his deportation policy, he said: "We've won all these cases in appeal. We've had some judges that are radical left lunatics, and every case has been overturned." The Trump administration has had some success on this front, including a recent Supreme Court ruling allowing it to deport migrants to third countries. The president also praised his landmark tax and spending bill - "the one big beautiful bill" - which extends 2017 tax cuts from Trump's first term, as well as creating new tax breaks on tips and including steep cuts to Medicaid, the state-provided healthcare scheme. "We have the largest tax cuts in history," he said. Asked what he thought would define his legacy as president, he said: "Saving America." "I think America is now a great country and it was a dead country one year ago."
