(Stillwater) — An inmate in Cushing’s private prison — who was sent to the lockup in Payne County after being convicted of escaping from another prison — was charged Wednesday with possessing marijuana while incarcerated in the Cimarron Correctional Faciity on Sept. 26.
Robert Lee Brown, 24, could receive as much as a 20-year prison term and a $10,000 fine if convicted of possessing the illegal drug in the Cushing prison, court records show.
Brown arrived at the Cimarron Correctional Facility in February 2008 to serve a two-year sentence for escaping from the Department of Corrections in Osage County, DOC records show.
After he completed that prison term in April of this year, Brown began serving another two-year sentence from Osage County, this one for grand larceny in 2008, DOC records show.
Brown also has a conviction for second-degree burglary from Osage County in 2003, for which he was given a three-year suspended sentence in 2005, DOC records show.
