(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Cushing woman — who reportedly didn’t have any pants on at the time of her arrest — was arraigned Friday on a charge of possessing methamphetamine near Perkins High School.
Only three months earlier, the same woman was arrested in Stillwater and charged with possessing the same drug and driving under the influence of an intoxicant.
Christy Lynne Jones, 34, remains free on $15,000 total bond pending an April 1 court appearance at which she can ask for a preliminary hearing on both of her methamphetamine charges.
In her new case, Jones was arrested by Perkins Police Officer Kaylee Smarr, who was sent at 7:18 a.m. on March 9 on a report of a suspicious black vehicle in the Cimarron Golf Course parking lot, court records show.
The officer wrote in an affidavit, “I approached the driver side of the vehicle when the driver stuck her head out the window advising that she was fine.
“While speaking with her, I observed that she was acting nervous and kept asking if she could just go home. She advised she was heading home and she pulled over to talk on her phone.
“I asked her where she lived and she advised Cushing, Oklahoma. I then asked her where she was coming from and she stated her house.
“I asked her what she was doing in Perkins and she told me that she had spent the night in Agra with a friend after she had gotten into a domestic over the phone,” the officer wrote in the affidavit.
Perkins Police Sgt. Dewayne Hammack “asked her if she had been in any trouble with the police and she replied for swerving and also her pain medication,” the affidavit said.
“I spoke with Christy asking if she had anything in her car that I need to know about. Christy looked in the back seat and said, ‘no,"” Smarr wrote in the affidavit.
“As Sgt. Hammack and his (canine) partner, Atilla, were doing a fresh air sniff on the car, Christy kept looking in the back seat,” the affidavit alleged.
“Sgt. Hammack advised me that Atilla had a change of behavior on the passenger rear compartment of the car,” so the officer asked her to step out of her car, Smarr wrote in the affidavit.
“As she was getting out of her car, Christy said she didn’t have any pants on. Christy asked if she could put a black jacket on,” the affidavit said.
“Sheriff’s Deputy Christopher McKosato arrived on scene and was asked if Christy could be placed in his patrol unit for her safety due to her lack of clothing,” the affidavit said.
Then the two Perkins police officers began a systematic search of the car in which Smarr found a make-up bag with a make-up container holding a pink baggy which had a substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine, the affidavit alleged.
Following her arrest, Jones was transported to the Payne County Jail, the affidavit said. She had been located 64 feet west of Perkins High School, the affidavit said.
If convicted of possessing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of Perkins High School, Jones could be given a 20-year prison term and a $20,000 fine, court records show.
Three months earlier, Jones was charged with possessing methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia and driving under the influence of an intoxicant following her arrest in Stillwater at 300 S. Duck Street on Dec. 5, 2012, court records show.
If convicted of those counts, Jones could be incarcerated for 12 years and fined $7,000, court records show.
