(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater man has been jailed on $20,000 bail pending a Dec. 7 court appearance on a felony charge of delivering counterfeit methamphetamine, which was a horse joint supplement, to an undercover informant for Stillwater police.
Clayton Theo Jones, 25, had only been out of prison for seven weeks when he was arrested by Stillwater Police Officer Josh Carson outside a trailer in rural Stillwater where he was staying on Nov. 12, court records show.
“Clayton said he sold CI (confidential informant) MSM just to make some money for rent. MSM is a horse joint supplement that has a similar appearance to methamphetamine and is often used as a ‘cut’ by methamphetamine dealers,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
“As units arrived to make the arrest, Clayton threw a small zip top baggy towards the grass to the east. Detective Elliott found the zip top bag thrown by Clayton and pointed out the location. Clayton again told me he sold the MSM making it look like methamphetamine to make extra money,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
Jones had been released from prison on Sept. 24 after serving one year and eight months for violating his probation in a 2017 burglary case in which he admitted “he had been going into houses and cars along Prairie Road and stealing things,” Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy Scott Hopper wrote in an affidavit.
Jones had previously been convicted of assault and battery on a Perkins police officer and two emergency medical care providers for the city of Perkins in 2014, for which he was initially given a two-year suspended sentence, six months of which were revoked in 2018, court records show.
