A Stroud man charged twice in 13 days with felonies has pleaded not guilty in both cases and his trial has been set.
Formal charges of unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute were filed Sep. 13 in Lincoln County District Court against Ronald Dean Mixon, 60.
On Sep. 26, the new felony and misdemeanor counts were filed in Lincoln County District Court. They included unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute and with driving with license cancelled/ suspended/ revoked.
He was arraigned recently before District Judge John Canavan. Mixon waived reading and entered a not guilty plea. The judge received his plea and set the causes for the felony disposition docket on May 7, 2024 and the trials on June 17, 2024.
On the first charge he appeared before Associate District Judge Sheila Kirk and she set his bond at $10,000. He made his initial appearance on Sep. 21.
On the newest charges, a $7,000 bench warrant was issued and returned and filed the same day they were filed.
Assistant District Attorney Rachel Thompson has filed supplemental information showing that Mixon was convicted on Feb. 2, 2017 in Creek County District Court of felony concealing stolen property.
In the case filed Sep. 13, Deputy Sheriff Christopher Hyde, who is an investigator, states in a probable cause affidavit that he responded shortly before 3 p.m. Sep. 5 to a Stroud residence after he was contacted by Oklahoma Court Services Probation Officer Melissa Johnson who told him she had completed a home visit compliance check on Mixon who was on probation and that she had located narcotics in his vehicle.
She told Hyde that when she arrived at Mixon’s residence he was not there, but a short time later he showed up in his pickup. Mixon reportedly allowed her entry into the home and she located a green leafy substance and digital scale.
