(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing man pleaded guilty Friday to providing vodka to two 13-year-olds, one of whom ended up being hospitalized, according to court records.
Curtis Don Peters, 21, remains free on a personal recognizance bond pending his sentencing on Dec. 5 before Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler.
The judge ordered the state Department of Corrections to prepare a Youthful Offender Accountability Plan for Peters under the Delayed Sentencing Program.
According to court documents, the hospitalized 13-year-old girl had a blood alcohol level of .245, which is three times the level for drunken driving.
The case was investigated by Cushing Police Sgt. Carson Watts, who wrote in an affidavit that at 11:23 p.m. on March 5, a woman called 911 about a non-responsive female lying in her yard in the 800 block of E. Cherry Street.
The 13-year-old girl was lying in the front yard and wrapped in a blanket when officers arrived, the affidavit said.
She was being cared for by the woman and a 13-year-old boy, the affidavit said. The girl “had vomit on her face, her clothing was very wet, and she appeared to be shivering from the cold,” the affidavit said.
The girl was transported by ambulance to the emergency room of the Cushing hospital for treatment, the affidavit said.
The 13-year-old boy said that “Curtis” got them drinks and he saw the girl consume about half the bottle of vodka, the affidavit said. The following night, officers returned to the Cushing hospital where the girl had been admitted to talk to her about what happened the previous night, the affidavit said.
The girl said that “she had been communicating with Curtis via text most of the day,” the affidavit said. She said “he wanted to hang out with her which she agreed to do,” the affidavit said.
She said that she and the boy then walked to the hospital where they met Peters before walking to his mother’s residence on Cherry Street at about 9 p.m., the affidavit said.
She said they began watching a movie and Peters offered them alcoholic drinks that they accepted, the affidavit said.
The boy said that he and the girl “drank almost the entire bottle between the two of them,” the affidavit said.
The boy said at about 11 p.m. he told the girl they needed to leave, but when they walked outside, “she began to vomit and fell in the driveway of the residence,” the affidavit said.
The boy said at some point, a car tried to pull into the driveway so he pulled the girl out of the driveway and into the grass, the affidavit said.
