(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict from Drumright who has been convicted of methamphetamine possession in three counties was ordered Monday to stand trial on a Payne County charge of possessing the drug in Cushing with the intent to distribute.
David Sheridan Glimp, 30, who apparently was released from prison about a year ago, remains jailed pending his arraignment in trial court July 2 before District Judge Donald Worthington.
Glimp was arrested by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Anthony Harper in the 1500 block of E. Main Street in Cushing at 9:50 p.m. Oct. 10, 2009, court records show.
The trooper had noticed that Glimp’s Nissan was traveling on Linwood Road at 20 mph in the 35 mph zone, according to his affidavit.
When the vehicle slowed to make a left turn onto North Street, the trooper noticed the right brake light was not working and made a traffic stop on the vehicle, which then pulled into a restaurant parking lot, the affidavit said.
The trooper alleged in his affidavit that it appeared Glimp was trying to hide something along the seat. Glimp said that he didn’t have his driver’s license with him and couldn’t locate his insurance verification, the affidavit said.
“While in my patrol unit, I noticed that the subject had uncontrollable muscle responses and that his hands were trembling. I also noticed that the subject had sores on his face, which are indicative of some meth users.
“I also began to itch about the face and arms while on the contact with the subject. It has been my experience that when I come into contact with people associated with meth, I begin to itch in this manner,” the trooper wrote in his affidavit.
Glimp — whose driver’s license was valid — was issued a warning for defective equipment and a citation for no insurance, before being released, the affidavit said.
The trooper then asked Glimp, “if I could search his person and vehicle. He stated yes. During a search of his person, I located a clear pill bottle containing six small ziplock baggies containing a white powdery substance and three small unused ziplock baggies, and one small ziplock baggy containing marijuana,” the affidavit alleged.
“Also located in a second pill bottle was a cellophane wrapper containing chemical-soaked tissue paper,” the affidavit alleged.
“The subject advised me that the substance in the pill bottle was meth,” the affidavit alleged. It tested positive as methamphetamine and the marijuana also tested positive, the affidavit alleged.
According to court records, Glimp had previously been convicted of methamphetamine possession in three counties.
In Payne County, Glimp was given a five-year prison term in 2008 and ordered into the Bill Johnson Drug Offender Work Camp — with the conditiion that the balance of his sentence would be suspended if he succesfully completed that program. He apparently got out of prison in March of 2009.
In Creek County, Glimp was given a two-year prison term in 2005, which he apparently completed in one year, state Department of Corrections records show.
In Logan County, Glimp was given a five-year prison term in 2003, which he apparently completed in less than two years, DOC records show.
