(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater man jailed on $100,000 bail has been ordered to appear in court on June 2 for a preliminary hearing on a charge of trafficking methamphetamine, a felony punishable on conviction of 10 years to life in prison plus a fine of $25,000 to $100,000.
Travis James Wilbur Boyd, 37, was kneeling down in the front yard of his residence in the Thomasville area when he was arrested by Payne County Sheriff’s Lt. Dan Nack at 1:44 pm on April 19 on two bench warrants for failing to appear in court on a 2017 methamphetamine possession charge and a 2020 ticket for having no driver’s license, an affidavit alleged.
After Boyd was arrested on the outstanding warrants issued by a judge, “I conducted a search of his person. While doing so, I located one baggy in his front left pocket with several large pieces of crystal substance that I recognized to be methamphetamine. There was also a bundle of loose cash in this pocket totaling $186.
“In his front right pocket I located a second bag of crystal substance. An additional $300 was located in his wallet,” Nack alleged in his affidavit.
The baggies containing substances that field-tested as methamphetamine had a total weight of 38.8 grams — more than the 20 grams required for a trafficking charge, court records allege.
