STILLWATER — A Perkins man, who admitted he maintained a house were drugs were kept in 2023, 2024 and 2025, has been released from the Payne County Jail where he was held on $100,000 bail to go into a residential drug treatment program pending his sentencing on Oct. 10.
In his latest case, Tyler Dean Boyce, 39, who has an eighth-grade education, also admitted possessing fentanyl, according to his guilty pleas to multiple drug charges before District Judge Jason Reese earlier this month, court records show.
Boyce was still on probation on his 2023 conviction for maintaining his residence as a place where people went to use and sell drugs at the time of his April 3 arrest when 10 officers including Perkins Police Chief Bob Ernst went to his house to serve a search warrant obtained by Perkins Police Officer Tyson Lester.
After fentanyl and drug paraphernalia were found on April 3, “Boyce stated that the last time he used narcotics was 3-4 days ago.
“I asked Boyce when the last time someone was at his residence and got high.
“Boyce stated earlier in the day on 4/3/2025, a male came to his house and did get high,” Officer Lester wrote in his affidavit.
