(Stillwater) — A rural Perkins man who is accused of distributing methamphetamine to an undercover state narcotics agent, possessing firearms after a felony conviction in Nevada, possessing methamphetamine and possessing chemicals used in the manufacture of the drug has been ordered to stand trial on July 7.
Anthony Wayne Endrina, 40, also known as Victor Castro and Victor Celso, has been held in the Payne County Jail since his arrest in February by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, according to court documents.
His bail, which was initially set at $200,000, was lowered to $100,000 after a preliminary hearing in April. Another bail reductiion hearing is scheduled for May 15, court records show.
OBN agent Rosa Reyes, acting in an undercover capacity, purchased four grams of methamphetamine from Endrina for $300 at his rural Perkins residence on Feb. 12, an affidavit alleged.
“During the drug transaction, Endrina talked about how he was either cooking methamphetamie to sell or to use,” Reyes alleged in an affidavit.
Afterwards, Endrina walked her and a confidential informant outside and pulled out a double-barrelled shotgun from his vehicle, Reyes’ affidavit alleged.
“OBN agents provided surveillance during the drug transaction,” according to Reyes’ affidavit.
Five days later, after Reyes obtained a search warrant for Endrina’s residence, “OBN agents found equipment and chemicals that is consistent with manufacturing methamphetamine,” her affidavit alleged.
Also found were a pistol and the double-barrelled shotgun, which she had seen during the Feb. 12 drug transaction, Reyes alleged in her affidavit.
Other items found at Endrina’s residence included a police scanner and drug paraphernalia, the affidavit alleged.
Endrina has felony convictions from Clark County, Nevada, for attempted possession of stolen property in 1995, for which he was given a three-year sentence, and for attempted theft in 2006, for which he was given a 48-month sentence, according to court documents.
If convicted in Payne County of distributing methamphetamine, possessing the drug and possessing drug paraphernalia, along with two counts of possessing firearms after a felony conviction, Endrina could be given as much as 41 years’ incarceration and $21,000 in fines, court records show.
