(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing woman has been jailed on $15,000 bail on her second felony charge in a month alleging that she possessed methamphetamine in Perkins.
Brittaney Jeannette Jay, 28, has been ordered to appear in court Wednesday on a charge that was filed after police were sent to the Cimarron Casino in Perkins.
Perkins Police Officer George Washington Farmer IV was told by security staff about 7:40 p.m. Sept. 16 that a couple had deposited 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 office 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,” the affidavit said.
“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 alleged 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, which appeared to have some type of liquid droplets in it,” the officer alleged in his affidavit.
In the backpack, “I located a black beanie cap containing six more hypodermic syringes inside of it,” the officer alleged 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 alleged in his affidavit.
The officer alleged 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 alleged.
He was instructed by Iowa Tribal Police Assistant Chief Lori Stropes to leave the property, the affidavit said.
Only a month earlier, Jay had been charged with possessing methamphetamine in Perkins on Aug. 25 and released on a personal recognizance bond, court records show.
If convicted of both methamphetamine charges, Jay could be imprisoned for four to 20 years and fined $10,000, court records show. ***
