(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater teenager has been ordered to appear in court today on charges of possessing a large amount of stolen property including a gun taken in Perkins, as well as having marijuana and LSD.
If convicted of all of his charges, Dylan Cole Jarrett, 19, could be incarcerated for 14 and one-half years plus given a $5,500 fine, court records show.
In his latest case, Jarrett was charged with knowingly concealing stolen items described as a backpack, two headphones, a purse, a bag, a wallet, two textbooks, a laptop computer, a jacket and a funeral bag. Jarrett was also charged with defacing or altering the serial number of a gun.
Stillwater Police Investigator Cody Manuel alleged in an affidavit that “officers located a 9 mm Kahr pistol with a defaced serial number hidden in a secret hide above the bathroom cabinets,” during a consensual search of his house on Feb. 5.
“This hide was known to officers because Jarrett had previously shown it to them during another search of the residence in 2018,” when a stolen pistol and drugs were found there,” the affidavit alleged.
Jarrett “told officers his entire closet was full of stolen property,” the affidavit alleged.
In the closet, police found backpacks, purses, wallets and items from two car burglaries and one residential burglary, the affidavit alleged.
In a misdemeanor case filed last week, Jarrett was accused of possessing 39.2 grams of marijuana and four squares on blotter paper of LSD during a Feb. 25 traffic stop of a pickup in which he was a passenger, court records show.
In another misdemeanor case filed last summer, Jarrett was accused of possessing a Glock model 32 .357 caliber pistol that had been reported to Perkins police as stolen, as well as marijuana, both on May 10, 2018, court records show.
Stillwater Police Investigator Newly McSpadden was asked on that day to perform follow-up on a shooting that had occurred at the White Barn Estates, according to his affidavit.
“Through previous interviews it was believed at least one gun used in the shooting was being kept at the residence,” of Jarrett, the affidavit alleged.
“We had information Dylan Jarrett (refers to himself as Dylan McCarrell) had been given a gun involved in the shooting and was told to hide the gun at this residence,” the Stillwater officer alleged in his affidavit.
Jarrett said that a suspect in the shooting “came to his house after the party and brought a gun over,” which Jarrett was asked to keep along with a bag containing marijuana, the affidavit alleged.
“The pistol was a Glock 32 .357 caliber,” which did not have a bullet in the chamber, but had a magazine containing nine .357 Sig bullets, the affidavit alleged. The pistol was later believed to have not been used during the shooting, the affidavit alleged.
The gun owner had told Perkins police “it had to have been removed from his personal vehicle,” where he always kept it, the affidavit alleged.
On Jarrett’s cell phone, “I observed a picture of Dylan (Jarrett) with a pistol in his waist band which resembled the pistol I recovered. I also observed video of Dylan (Jarrett) holding a Glock 32. 357 caliber pistol,” which he pointed at the camera, the Stillwater officer alleged in his affidavit.
