(Stillwater, Okla.) — An ex-convict from Cushing with a criminal history in Lincoln County was given a 10-year prison term Friday for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute in Payne County.
Garrett Colin Langham, 29, who has been in custody since his arrest last December at his Cushing residence, had already been sentenced to prison two weeks earlier on his Lincoln County charges.
As part of a plea bargain, his Payne County prison term was ordered Friday to run concurrently with his Lincoln County prison terms.
Langham had been arrested shortly after 10 a.m. on Dec. 6, 2013, at his residence in the 700 block of E. Oak Street in Cushing, after a search warrant was served there by Payne County sheriff’s deputies, court records show.
Inside a safe in the living room were digital scales, syringes, various baggies, one of which tested positive for methamphetamine, and a bag containing jewelry, Payne County Sheriff’s Deputy Dan Nack wrote in an affidavit.
When Langham arrived at his residence, he had methamphetamine and a variety of baggies in his possession, the affidavit said.
“He advised the ‘dope’ in his pocket was his, and he was trying to make some quick money because he doesn’t have a job.
“He then described the contents of the safe inside explaining that there were scales, pipes, baggies, and a bag of jewelry,” the affidavit said.
In addition to his 10-year prison term, Langham was given $2,650 in fines and assessments Friday in his Payne County methamphetamine case.
Two weeks earlier in Lincoln County, Langham had been given a five-year prison term, with an order to pay $461 in restitution and $300 in fines and assessments for concealing stolen property in Davenport in 2012.
Langham was also given a concurrent eight-year prison term, with an order to pay $300 in fines and assessments for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in Davenport in 2013, court records show.
Langham was also given a concurrent eight-year prison term for being a felon in possession of a firearm in Lincoln County in 2013, with an order to pay $300 in fines and assessments.
According to state Department of Corrections records, Langham had spent about four months in prison in 2010 after his two-year probationary sentence for drunk driving in Davenport in 2008 was revoked the following year to two years’ incarceration.
Langham had previously been placed on two years’ probation for uttering a forged instrument in Chandler in 2004, court records show.
