(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing woman who admitted possessing methamphetamine in Perkins has been placed on five years’ probation with an order to undergo random drug testing.
Brittaney Jeannette Jay, 28, had been arrested after police were sent to the Cimarron Casino in Perkins on Sept. 16, court records show.
As part of a plea bargain, an earlier charge accusing her of possessing methamphetamine in Perkins on Aug. 25 was dismissed by the prosecution on Oct. 10.
In her newer charge of possessing the drug, Jay was ordered to comply with the methamphetamine registry, undergo a substance abuse evaluation, follow any recommendations, perform 100 hours of community service and pay $1,550 in fines and assessments.
In that case, Perkins Police Officer George Washington Farmer IV was told by security staff about 7:40 p.m. Sept. 16 that a couple had put a backpack inside of the wood line and gone into the Cimarron Casino, an affidavit said.
“I was able to locate a black backpack and white plastic grocery sack that I could tell contained clothes and a notebook,” the Perkins officer wrote in an affidavit.
“The security staff was able to locate and escort both individuals to the area,” where the officer was, the affidavit said.
“Jay began to rummage through her purse to locate their identifications…Jay became extremely nervous and shaking all throughout her body.
“I asked ‘Why are you so nervous?’ Jay stated, ‘I’m nervous now because I can’t find our IDs so they must be in the other bags,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
Both said “the black backpack and plastic grocery bag belonged to Jay. I asked Jay to grab her bags and come to the patrol car so we had more light in order for her to find their identification cards,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
As the officer was observing Jay unzipping a pocket in the front of the bag and pulling out an item, “I noticed in the bottom of the pocket was a hypodermic syringe,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
“I located a black beanie cap containing six more hypodermic syringes inside of it,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
“As I began to search the final bag, being Jay’s purse, I found the black and white wallet where in plain view I could see a plastic baggy containing what appeared to be a tongue ring and a crystal residue,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.
The officer wrote in his affidavit that he found “another small plastic baggy in the bottom of the wallet containing a crystal substance,” that tested positive as methamphetamine.
Since Jay claimed all of the bags and contents were hers alone, the man with her was released to go about his business, the affidavit said.
He was instructed by Iowa Tribal Police Assistant Chief Lori Stropes to leave the property, the affidavit said.
