(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict with a criminal record in four counties has been ordered to appear in court on June 16 for a pre-trial hearing on charges of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute in Stillwater, as well as having drug paraphernalia described as a syringe with residue, numerous small baggies, a digital scale and a set of tweezers.
Former Stillwater resident Jaymie Dustin Pratt-Bregg, 27, of Glencoe, remained jailed Monday on $10,000 bail, which was reduced from $40,000 by Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler earlier this month.
Pratt-Bregg was a passenger in a car with an expired license tag that was spotted by Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Derek Fry traveling in Stillwater on US 177 near Hall of Fame Avenue, according to his affidavit.
The driver and passenger both looked very nervous to the trooper, who smelled marijuana, the affidavit alleged.
When the passenger was asked for an ID, Pratt-Bregg said that he did not have one, the affidavit said.
Asked to write his name and date of birth on paper, the passenger wrote out James Allen Pratt 3-16-91, which was incorrect, the affidavit alleged.
The trooper “observed the passenger as he was writing and saw what he believed to be was the passenger falsifying information.
“The passenger was slowly writing the name out and then took a moment to write the date of birth,” the affidavit alleged.
When the trooper asked the driver the name of his passenger, “he replied it was ‘Dustin,"” the affidavit alleged.
A Payne County dispatcher recognized the false information as a previous alias for Pratt-Bregg, the affidavit alleged.
The trooper asked the driver, Branden Allen Davis, 29, of Glencoe “why he smelled like marijuana and he explained he had smoked some about an hour and a half before the stop,” the affidavit alleged. The driver admitted that he did not have a medical marijuana ID card, the affidavit alleged.
A marijuana glass pipe and a small metal container had marijuana, which Davis claimed as his, the affidavit alleged.
Davis was arrested and released on $5,000 bond with an order to appear in court on June 8 of misdemeanor charges of possessing a drug and drug paraphernalia, court records show.
When the passenger was asked by the trooper why he gave him a false name, “Pratt-Bregg explained he had warrants,” the affidavit alleged.
After the trooper found a small bag behind the passenger seat, “Pratt-Bregg claimed the bag as his,” the affidavit alleged.
Within a bag in a lock-box type container were numerous small plastic baggies, small baggies with a white powder residue, one small baggy with crystal meth, one loaded syringe that Pratt-Bregg said was meth, numerous other unused syringes, four small containers of marijuana, a small razor blade, a digital scale and a set of tweezers, the affidavit alleged.
On the way to the jail, the trooper “asked Pratt-Bregg if he could work a job to make a living instead of selling meth,” the affidavit alleged.
“Pratt-Bregg replied that he had one time worked as a plumber. Pratt-Bregg further explained that he only sold meth to provide enough money to buy his own personal drugs and that he was addicted to meth,” the affidavit alleged.
A year ago, Pratt-Bregg had pleaded guilty to obstructing a Stillwater police officer by giving a false name on a traffic stop and possessing methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia on March 2, 2019, for which he was given a 30-day jail term followed by eleven months of probation.
According to the state Department of Corrections, Pratt-Bregg, who has also been known by the surnames of Bregg and Prattbregg, was previously convicted of:
* larceny of a vehicle in Cleveland County in 2011 for which he was originally given 10 years of probation that was changed in 2014 to a six-year prison term of which he served two years prior to his release in October of 2016;
* larceny of a vehicle in Kay County in 2011, for which he was originally given five years of probation that was changed in 2014 to a concurrent five-year prison term of which he served two years;
* concealing stolen property, obstructing an officer and unauthorized use of a vehicle in 2011 in Cleveland County, for which he was originally given probation that was changed in 2014 to three concurrent five-year prison terms of which he served one and one-half years;
* concealing stolen property and unauthorized use of a vehicle in 2011 in Cleveland County, for which he was originally given probation that was changed in 2014 to a concurrent five-year prison term of which he served less than two years;
* drug possession in 2013 in Custer County, for which he was given in 2013 a concurrent five-year prison term of which he served less than two years;
* concealing stolen property in 2013 in Payne County, for which he was place on probation for nine months and one day in 2016.
