(Stillwater, Okla.) – A Stillwater man with an extensive criminal history has been jailed on $25,000 bail pending a Dec. 18 preliminary hearing on a felony charge of attacking a Payne County detention officer – four days after being arrested for failing to appear in court for sentencing on a misdemeanor protective order violation.
Johnnie Duane Brown, 64, who has also been known as John D. Brown, Dee Brown, Dewayne Davidson, Dee and Ginger according to prison records, could be incarcerated for four years to life if convicted of shoving, pushing, scratching, biting and contending with a Payne County jailer on Oct. 15, records show.
Brown could be given an additional six-month jail term if convicted of threatening to kill the jailer, also on Oct. 15, court records show.
According to court records, Brown stood trial on Aug. 22 before a Payne County jury that convicted him of violating a protective order on Sept. 9, 2017, for which it recommended a 90-day jail term. The jury acquitted Brown of an assault and battery count.
Brown was allowed to remain free on a personal recognizance bond, with an order to appear in court on Oct. 10 for sentencing. When Brown failed to return to court, he was arrested on Oct. 11, held on $5,000 bond, and sentenced on Oct. 16 to the jury-recommended 90-day jail term, court records show.
