(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater man, who was arrested after a drug dog allegedly indicated his car should be searched during a traffic stop at 6th and Jardot, has been ordered to appear in court Thursday for arraignment on a charge of possessing heroin with intent to distribute.
In a Stillwater city jail interview, Cody Brent Morrow, 32, who previously lived in Cushing, “admitted to traveling to Oklahoma City and picking up a ‘quack’ which is commonly known as a quarter-ounce of heroin,” Stillwater Police Officer Brett Moore alleged in an affidavit.
“Cody admitted to selling heroin to continue his addition,” the affidavit alleged.
Morrow was arrested at 5:27 pm on May 20 and released from the Payne County Jail on May 30 on $25,000 bond, court records show.
When Morrow was stopped in his car for failing to use a turn signal 100 feet prior to changing lanes near 6th and Stallard, “Cody appeared extremely nervous as he was visibly shaking and stated he did not realize I was behind him,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
“I requested Detective Elliott to conduct a free air sniff with his K9 partner. Detective Elliott informed me the vehicle needed to be detained and searched.
“A torn Walmart style plastic sack was located containing approximately six grams of heroin inside the vehicle. Cody was informed of his Miranda rights and he admitted to more heroin being in a red solo cup, which contained soda in the cup holder of the vehicle.
“I poured the soda out of the cup and located a glass saucer containing an additional amount of heroin.
“In the driver’s headrest, it was discovered the foam had been hollowed out and glass heroin pipes were found,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
If convicted of possessing heroin with intent to distribute, Morrow could be given a maximum penalty of seven years in prison and a $100,000 fine. If convicted of a misdemeanor count of driving on a suspended license, Morrow could be given a one-year jail term and a $500 fine.
