(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict from Drumright with an extensive criminal history in Creek County pleaded guilty Friday to possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and obstructing a Payne County sheriff’s deputy.
Kory Dwayne McCormick, 33, whose first name is spelled on prison records as Korey, was arrested about 2:30 a.m. Nov. 3, 2013, on the east side of Cushing Lake after a 911 call, court records show.
As part of plea bargain approved in Payne County District Court Friday, McCormick was placed on 10 years’ probation except for a six-month jail term which he had served, and ordered to pay $2,300 in fines and assessments.
McCormick was ordered to have a drug and alcohol evaluation along with random drug tests, and to perform 100 hours of community service.
Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy Nick Myers wrote in an affidavit that at about 1:14 a.m. on Nov. 3, 2013, a 911 call was made from the area of Cushing Lake — in which a male and female could be heard talking about having and using narcotics.
When the deputy arrived at the location given by the dispatcher based on the E911 mapping system, he saw a man standing next to a small fire outside a pickup that was occupied by McCormick and two females, the affidavit said.
The man said “the vehicle battery had died and they could not get anybody to come and assist with the vehicle,” the affidavit said.
“Payne County dispatch advised they could hear me in the background of the 911 call and I was at the correct location.
“Knowing that the call was coming from inside the vehicle, I was unsure if the call was an accident or if one of the females was having problems,” the deputy wrote in his affidavit.
“I could see Mr. McCormick moving and reaching around in the vehicle and walked around to his side of the truck.
“I had Mr. McCormick step away from the vehicle. I advised him why I was there and what was heard on the 911 call. Mr. McCormick was noticeably nervous.
“I noticed a bulge in Mr. McCormick’s right watch pocket and asked him what the item was. Mr. McCormick immediately started running east from our location,” the deputy wrote in his affidavit.
After a taser was deployed, McCormick fell to the ground, but then continued to resist and started to reach for his right pocket, the affidavit said.
“I deployed a second cycle of the taser to allow me to gain control of Mr. McCormick’s hands,” but he continued to resist until Deputy Chris McKosato arrived, Myers wrote in his affidavit.
“While searching Mr. McCormick, I located in his right watch pocket a plastic ziplock style bag with a crystal substance,” that tested positive for methamphetamine, Myers wrote in his affidavit.
“I weighed the substance with a set of digital scales with a read-out of 10 grams. This amount is not consistent with personal use and has an approximate street value of $1,000,” Myers wrote in his affidavit.
McCormick apparently got out of prison in 2011 after serving two sentences from the Drumright division of Creek County District Court for:
* assault with a dangerous weapon in 2004 for which he was originally placed on 10 years’ probation, which was revoked seven months later in 2005 to a six-year prison term, court records show;
* assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in 2002 for which he was originally placed on five years’ probation, which was revoked in 2005 to a three-year prison term, court records show.
McCormick’s criminal history in Creek County also includes:
* maiming in Drumright in 2000, for which he was given a jury-recommended one-year sentence with credit for time served;
* outraging public decency in 2002 for which he was placed on one year’s probation.
