(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Drumright man has admitted breaking into a Stillwater man’s car south of Oklahoma State University and concealing stolen identification including a Perkins woman’s medical insurance card, as well as possessing marijuana, all in Stillwater.
Nicholas Allen McCarty, 21, was warned by Payne County District Judge Phillip Corley in court Friday, “You’re 21 years of age. You have two felony convictions. If you get in trouble again, you’re going to the penitentiary.”
The judge approved McCarty’s plea agreement Friday for a two-year suspended sentence, except 60 days in jail for which he must pay the cost of his incarceration, with requirements to undergo random drug tests, have a substance abuse evaluation, perform any recommended follow-up and pay a $250 fine.
McCarty, who pleaded guilty to a three-count charge Friday, had been arrested on the strip south of the OSU campus shortly after 7 p.m. on Jan. 28, Stillwater Police Officer Matt Smittle wrote in an affidavit.
McCarty was a passenger in the back of a van parked next to a vehicle from which a blue and white plaid jacket, car keys, brown gloves and a small orange flashlight were taken, the affidavit said.
When McCarty was searched, an orange flashlight was found in his pocket. He also had a prescription bottle containing marijuana and a different medication than listed on the bottle, the affidavit said.
“Once McCarty was in the city jail, the detention officer located three other forms of identification from another person in McCarty’s wallet,” the affidavit said. The IDs belonged to a Perkins woman who had reported that theft on Jan. 5 to Stillwater police, the affidavit said.
“McCarty confessed to getting in the victim’s vehicle (on Jan. 28) and taking his items,” the affidavit said.
Three and one-half months before the Stillwater incident, McCarty had been placed on five years’ probation for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in Drumright in 2014, with an order to pay $1,000 in fines and assessments, court records show.
In February of 2014, McCarty had been placed on probation for one year under a deferred sentence with an order to pay $650 for falsely reporting a crime in Drumright, court records show.
Three months before that in Creek County, McCarty had been placed on six months’ probation with an order to pay $350 for petty larceny in Drumright, court records show.
