(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing man, who failed to appear in court Friday on a domestic violence charge, was arrested on Memorial Day by Cushing police and was being held in the Payne County Jail this morning on $10,000 bail, a sheriff’s spokesman told KUSH.
District Judge Phillip Corley had issued a bench warrant on Friday for Shannan Lee Teegarden, 53, a repeat drug offender, who had been released from jail in February on a personal recognizance bond, at the prosecutor’s request with the victim’s approval, to set up an appointment with a treatment facility and follow their directives, court records show.
Teegarden had waived his right to a preliminary hearing in February on a felony charge accusing him of using his belt to hit a relative who failed to have cigarettes for him on Sept. 28, 2019, court records show.
Two days earlier, Teegarden allegedly threw his bicycle into the pick-up door of a Cushing man who refused to give him a ride on Sept. 26, 2019, court records show.
According to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and court records, Teegarden had been released from prison in January of 2019 after serving sentences for:
* methamphetamine possession in Drumright in Creek County in 2013, for which he was given probation in 2014 that was revoked in 2017 when he was given a six-year prison term of which he served almost two years;
* methamphetamine possession in Cushing in Payne County in 2015, for which he was given a concurrent six-year prison term in 2017, of which he served 15 months;
* domestic abuse in Ada in Pontotoc County in 2016, for which he was given a concurrent four-year prison term in 2017, of which he served less than a year;
* endeavoring to manufacture a drug and possessing a drug in Drumright in Creek County in 2010, for which he was given two concurrent two-year prison terms in 2010, of which he served less than a year;
* possessing a precursor with intent to manufacture a drug in Drumright in Creek County in 2006, for which he was originally given probation that was revoked in 2007 to a five-year prison term with an order to attend the Bill Johnson Drug Offender Work Camp, a sentence that was modified in 2009 to five years of probation, but one year of which was revoked in 2010.
