Cushing man jailed on burglary charge

  (Stillwater, Okla.) — A 38-year-old Cushing man with a history of burglary in Creek and Payne counties has been jailed on $20,000 bail pending his arraignment this afternoon on a charge of breaking into a house in the 800 block of E. Second Street in Cushing and possessing marijuana.

    Due to his criminal record, Christopher Sean Eiseman could be sentenced to 21 years to life in prison if convicted of first-degree burglary. Eiseman could be given one year in jail if convicted of misdemeanor drug possession.

    Eiseman was arrested at 9:58 am on March 4 at the residence of a man, who said he was inside when “the front door flew open and Chris Eiseman walked in the house uninvited and said he was being chased by a dog,” Cushing Police Sgt. Jack Ford alleged in an affidavit.

    After the resident looked outside and did not see a dog, he flagged down Cushing Police Officer Kyle Wright, who asked Eiseman if he knew who lived in the house and he said no, the affidavit alleged.

    A neighbor said, “she was outside with her dogs, and Eiseman was walking on the sidewalk toward her house,” while talking to himself, the affidavit alleged. She said, “Eiseman came to her front door and opened the screen door, but didn’t try to get into her house,” the affidavit alleged.

    Officer Wright found in Eiseman’s right pant pocket a clear plastic bag containing a small amount of a substance that field-tested as marijuana, the affidavit alleged.

    According to the state Department of Corrections, Eiseman was incarcerated for about eight months from June 2012 to February of 2013 for second-degree burglary in Creek County in 2005 and attempted second-degree burglary in Payne County in 2010, on two concurrent three-year prison terms. Eiseman also served one month of a concurrent two-year prison sentence in 2012 for leaving the scene of an injury accident in Payne County, DOC records show.
