(Stillwater, Okla.) – A Cushing woman — who was ordered into the Payne County Drug Court program four months ago — was charged Wednesday with bringing the drugs, methadone and alprazolam, into the Payne County Jail on Tuesday.
Melanie Michelle Keys, 34, was arraigned Wednesday from jail where she was being held on $50,000 total bail on four separate drug charges.
If convicted of her latest drug charge, Keys could be imprisoned for five years and fined $1,000, court records show.
Four months ago, Keys was sentenced on three earlier drug charges from Payne County for which she was given a 120-day jail term, with credit for time served, followed by probation for four years and eight months, court records show.
As a condition of her probation, Keys was ordered to enroll in and successfully complete the Payne County Drug Court program.
She was sentenced for bringing the drug Diazepam into the Payne County Jail in May, possessing methamphetamine near Cushing High School in April, and possessing methamphetamine in her car in Cushing in June of last year, court records show.
The District Attorney’s Office is now seeking to have her probation revoked in all three of her previous drug cases, court records show.
