(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing man has admitted endeavoring to manufacture methamphetamine at his residence, along with possessing the drug and drug paraphernalia.
Allen Lee Harmon, 54, who pleaded guilty Friday, remains free on a personal recognizance bond pending his sentencing on July 2.
According to court documents, Harmon has a plea bargain for a 10-year suspended sentence except six months in jail, substance abuse counseling, drug testing, community service and fines.
His wife, Rita Faye Harmon, 56, who was arrested with him, pleaded guilty two months ago to transferring pseudoephedrine to her husband with the knowledge it would be used to manufacture methamphetamine.
She remains free on a personal recognizance bond pending her sentencing on May 2. She has a plea bargain to receive a five-year deferred sentence with drug testing and community service, court records show.
Cushing Police Officer Justin Sappington wrote in an affidavit that the couple were arrested at their residence on Sept. 10, 2013, after a search warrant was served there with the assistance of sheriff’s deputies and other Cushing officers.
“Officers and deputies searched the premises including the house, the garage, a trash can inside the back yard and a vehicle in the driveway and found several items that are consistent with the manufacturing of methamphetamine,” Sappington’s affidavit said.
At the time of their arrest, “Both subjects denied any knowledge of the meth lab components found on their premises,” the affidavit said.
