(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict from Cushing — who was released from prison about four years ago — has admitted he delivered $50 worth of methamphetamine to a state narcotics bureau agent at a parking lot in Cushing.
Donald Gene Hilyard, 51, who had been free on bond, was jailed after pleading guilty Friday, pending his April 4 sentencing before Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler, who ordered a background report on him.
Hilyard was arrested seven months after meeting a confidential informant and a state narcotics agent about 8:30 p.m. on April 12, 2012, in a parking lot in the 1100 block of E. Main Street in Cushing, court records show.
A state narcotics bureau agent wrote in an affidavit, “Hilyard handed me a small plastic bag containing a crystal-like substance,” which later tested positive as methamphetamine.
After the agent paid him $50, “Hilyard then stated that ‘it’s decent, it’s good. Well y’all gonna have fun with it.’ Hilyard then advised that he had to go meet some people; he got into his vehicle and drove away from the area.”
At the time of that April 2012 drug transaction, Hilyard had been out of prison for two years after serving about a third of two drug sentences, state Department of Corrections records show.
In 2008, Hilyard was sentenced to a six-year prison term for possession of marijuana as a second offense in Cushing — which ran concurrently to his 2004 conviction for manufacturing methamphetamine in Lincoln County, for which he was given a seven-year sentence after his probation there was apparently revoked in 2008, DOC records show.
