(Stillwater) — A Cushing man was arraigned Tuesday on charges of possessing marijuana, methamphetamine and alprazolam, along with drug paraphernalia described as digital scales, straws, plastic baggies, syringes and razors, all on March 13.
Charles Harrison Davis, 44, remained jailed Tuesday in lieu of posting $20,000 bail on his latest drug charges, which were investigated by the Payne County Sheriff’s Office.
Exactly a month earlier, Davis had been arrested by Cushing Police Officer Bill McCarty after Davis allegedly failed to stop at a stop sign, court records show.
When Davis pulled into a convenience store parking lot, McCarty learned that Davis had a revoked driver’s license, according to the officer’s affidavit.
As the officer began to place Davis into his patrol car, Davis turned around and said, “That is not my car,” according to McCarty’s affidavit.
When McCarty shut his door, Officer Carson Watts told him that he had found marijuana in a black pouch on the driver’s seat, the affidavit alleged.
“Officer Watts also informed me that there were eight plastic bags inside the pouch,” all containing a substance that field-tested as marijuana, McCarty alleged in his affidavit.
In that Cushing case, Davis was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a revoked license, failure to stop at a stop sign, failure to pay taxes due to the state and failure to carry insurance verification, all on Feb. 13.
Davis was jailed for six days in that February case before he posted $10,000 bond and was released pending his return to court April 5, court records show.
If convicted of all of his charges, Davis could be given a life prison term plus 13 years and $33,450 in fines, court records show.
