Hoyt, Bowie RobertThe Waynesboro Police Department is requesting assistance in locating a convicted felon who has a history of firearms, assault and drug charges. Bowie Robert Hoyt is wanted on two probation violations from Waynesboro Circuit Court that are related to his 2012 convictions of possession of methamphetamine, possession of a Schedule II drug, assault & battery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.  A charge of possession of a firearm while in possession of a Schedule II drug was dropped at the time.
