(Stillwater, Okla.) — A repeat drug offender has been jailed on $25,000 bail pending a May 24 preliminary hearing on a felony charge of trafficking methamphetamine at his camper behind a house in the 800 block of W. Moses Street in Cushing.
John “Nick” Odle, 40, was arrested at 3:35 pm on Feb. 3 by Payne County Sheriff’s Investigator Brandon Myers, who was granted a search warrant for the camper trailer, according to his affidavit.
Two visitors, Kevin Ledgerwood and Kevin Odle, were also arrested but only charged with misdemeanor drug possession, court records show.
“John “Nick” Nicholas Odle, the primary resident of the camper trailer, had approximately 22 grams of methamphetamine, a large amount of unused baggies, four working digital scales, a blue bowl with a white powder residue in the bowl and on the spoon — and two drug ledgers.
“He also had in the camper, in the living area, a black Glock 19 pistol that is almost visually identical to a real Glock 19 pistol and is a convicted felon,” the investigator alleged in his affidavit.
According to the state Department of Corrections and court records, John “Nick” Odle had previously been convicted of:
* possessing morphine sulfate in Drumright in 2016 for which he was placed on five years of probation in 2016;
* possessing methamphetamine in Cushing after a former felony conviction in 2016 for which he was placed on five years of probation in 2017;
* possessing oxycodone in Perkins after a former felony conviction in 2016 for which he was initially placed on eight years of probation in 2017, but after being terminated from Drug Court, seven months later he was sent to the Bill Johnson Drug Offender Work Camp where he was incarcerated for 10 months in 2018.
