(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict from Cushing with an extensive criminal record, who had been jailed since his latest arrest nine months ago, was released from the Payne County Jail after pleading guilty to reduced charges Friday.
Brandon Michael Ray Thompson, 33, was urged by his court-appointed attorney Royce Hobbs Friday, “Don’t come back.”
Thompson was originally charged with illegally using a pick-up truck, burglarizing a car driven by a minor, assaulting another minor with a hammer, possessing methamphetamine and entering a house without permission, all on Nov. 4, 2013, in Cushing.
A day after his charges were amended to only the counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, molesting a motor vehicle and breaking and entering, Thompson pleaded guilty.
In a plea bargain, Thompson was sentenced to a one-year jail term — and then released Friday based on his credits for the time served.
According to state Department of Corrections records, Thompson had gotten out of prison two years ago after being incarcerated for four and one-half years.
Thompson had been convicted of kicking then-Cushing Police Officer Mary Jurczewsky on Sept. 8, 2007, and attempting to break into a Cushing residence a week earlier, court records show.
For those crimes, Thompson was originally placed on 12 years’ probation in November 2007, with an order to enroll in and successfully complete the Payne County Drug Court program.
Three months later, Thompson was found in violation of his probation in both of those cases and given a five-year prison term, court records show.
In 2004, Thompson had been placed on five years’ probation with an order to enroll in and successfuly complete the Drug Court program for threatening a Cushing man with a knife, records show.
Six months later, Thompson was found in violation of his probation and sentenced to two years in prison, court records show. Three years later, the balance of Thompson’s original probationary sentence was revoked.
Also in 2004, Thompson admitted pushing Cushing Police Officers Adam Harp and Jurczewsky, for which he was initially placed on a five-year deferred sentence, with an order to serve a 90-day jail term.
Four months later, Thompson was found in violation of that probationary sentence and given a felony conviction with an order to complete the Drug Court program.
Six months later, Thomspon was again found in violation of probation and given a two-year prison term, court records show.
Three years later, the balance of his original five-year sentence was revoked and he was sent to prison in 2008, court records show. He was released in July 2012, state Department of Corrections records show.
