Jessica Windsor and Christopher Gile
By Patti Weaver
(Stillwater, Okla.) — A 30-year-old Muskogee woman, who admitted trafficking methamphetamine in Payne County, was placed on 10 years’ probation last week — with an order that she stay in jail until being placed in the Northwest drug treatment program.
Jessica Lauren Windsor had pleaded guilty without an agreement with the prosecution regarding her sentence. Assistant District Attorney Jose Villareal recommended at her sentencing hearing last week that she be given an eight-year prison term.
But her court-appointed defense attorney Sarah Kennedy told the judge, “In-patient treatment is available for her — she’ll go straight to the treatment program,” with a plea that she be given probation.
In granting the defense request, Payne County Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler said, “Ms. Windsor, you’ve not been given an opportunity for treatment — You’re being given that opportunity now. I wish you well.”
Windsor thanked the judge before being taken back to jail, where she has been held for the past eight months on $35,000 bail, pending her transportation to drug treatment.
At the time of her arrest by Payne County Sheriff’s Lt. Dan Nack last summer, she was staying in a Guthrie motel with her boyfriend, Christopher Allen Gile, 41, of Muskogee, court records show. Gile remains jailed on $50,000 bail pending a trial in May for alleged drug trafficking.
The couple were passengers in a car driven by a woman who was not charged, according to an affidavit by Nack, who said he and other officers were working a drug interdiction detail near I-35 and Mulhall Rd. (56th) during a traffic stop on July 28, 2021.
“The male front seat passenger identified himself as Christopher Gile,” who was nervous, irritated and argumentative, the affidavit alleged.
After Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy David Sloan used his K-9 for a free air sniff around the vehicle, it was searched, the affidavit alleged.
A total of about 46.6 grams including packaging weight of methamphetamine was found under the back seat cover where Windsor was sitting and in the car’s trunk, the affidavit alleged.
“While talking to them, they described that they (Jessica and Christopher) had been staying in a motel in Guthrie together,” and the woman just gave them a ride, the affidavit alleged.
Gile said that all of the drugs in the car belonged to him, the affidavit alleged.
“Neither of the two disputed with each other the arrest or possession of the meth, but both agreed that (the driver) had nothing to do with this incident other than giving them a ride,” the affidavit alleged.
According to the state Department of Corrections, Windsor had been released from prison in July of 2019 after serving about 11 months of a three-year sentence for possessing methamphetamine in 2016 in Muskogee.
Gile had been released from prison in April of 2020 after serving 14 months of a four-year sentence for possessing a stolen vehicle in Muskogee County. Gile had also served a concurrent prison term after his probation was revoked in 2019 in a 2014 Muskogee County drug manufacturing case, according to DOC and court records.
