Brian Bowles was sentenced following his January 14, 2015, arrest in Arcade, Georgia, on multiple felony drug and weapons charges, including possession of methamphetamine, possession of a Schedule IV drug (like diazepam/Valium), possession with intent to sell both, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of tools for committing a crime, and possession of a firearm during a crime.
Public records and news coverage confirm the arrest stemmed from a search warrant executed at his home on Stoner Road, where authorities found drugs, packaging materials, and a firearm after discovering his associate, Rhomney Marie Moon, had an outstanding probation warrant. He was initially held in Jackson County Jail.
However, there are no public reports of a prison sentence or incarceration beyond pretrial detention. Forum discussions from MMA communities (e.g., Sherdog in 2020) note he is not listed as an inmate in the Georgia Department of Corrections or federal systems, suggesting he likely received a plea deal, probation, or entry into a drug court program—common for non-violent drug offenses in Georgia, especially for first-time or low-level offenders. These outcomes often involve sealed records or minimal publicity, aligning with the lack of follow-up news.
By September 2019, his Instagram (@brianbowles135) showed him actively teaching and training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at a Straight Blast Gym, indicating he was free and reintegrated into civilian life. No further legal issues or MMA activity have been reported since his 2013 UFC release.
