(Cushing, Okla.) — A repeat drug offender from Drumright, who has been charged with attempting to elude Cushing Police Officer Alex Gegen to Stroud and swerving at Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Kevin Chapman in an attempt to hit his patrol car on July 3, has been ordered held in the Payne County Jail on $100,000 bail pending a Sept. 14 preliminary hearing.
Lakrisha Kaylynn Dutton, 35, now listing a Claremore address, was released from prison three years ago after serving seven months of a two-year sentence for maintaining a place for keeping or selling drugs in Drumright in 2011, following the revocation of her probation in 2018 when she got a concurrent two years in prison for methamphetamine possession in Creek County in 2016, court records show.
Under the surname of Ducic, Dutton had also been convicted of possessing a precursor used to manufacture methamphetamine in Lincoln County in 2009, for which she was placed on seven years of probation in 2010, court records show. Also under the surname of Ducic, Dutton was given 89 days in the Creek County Jail in 2020 for trespassing at the Drumright Inn and resisting an Oilton police officer, court records show.
In her Payne County case, Dutton was arrested after attempting to elude Cushing police from Walnut and Independence Streets in Cushing to State Highway 99 and Golf Road in Stroud at 1:36 am on July 3 — when the Lincoln County deputy used a maneuver that resulted in his patrol car and her vehicle leaving the road, an affidavit alleged.
During the pursuit, Dutton’s vehicle ran multiple stop signs in Cushing and a passenger got out before she continued east into Drumright where local police assisted — followed by deputies from Payne County and Lincoln County, as well as Stroud police who set up stop sticks at Highway 99 and 0840 Road that flattened the two front tires on Dutton’s vehicle, which finally stopped, the affidavit alleged.
“All officers approached the vehicle where the female, later identified as Lakrisha Kaylynn Dutton, began to refuse to exit the vehicle,” but she was removed from it by Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy David Sloan, the affidavit alleged.
