A Stroud man faces a drug charge following his arrest by a Lincoln County deputy sheriff.
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.
He appeared before Associate District Judge Sheila Kirk and she set his bond at $10,000. She scheduled his initial appearance for Sep. 21.
Assistant District Attorney Rachel Thompson filed supplemental information showing that Mixon was convicted on Feb. 2, 2017 in Creek County District Court of felony concealing stolen property.
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 advised Hyde that when she arrived at Mixon’s residence he was not there, but a short time later he showed up in his pickup truck. Mixon reportedly allowed her entry into the home and she located a green leafy substance and digital scale.
She gained permission then to search Mixon’s vehicle and she located narcotics and paraphernalia tucked under the driver’s seat, according to the affidavit.
A container with two plastic bags was located that resembled methamphetamine. Two cellular phones were also found and turned over to Hyde.
