(Stillwater, Okla.) — Two ex-convicts from Tulsa, who were arrested in Perkins in a stolen Jaguar, remain held in the Payne County Jail on $10,000 bond each, a sheriff’s spokesman said.
The two men were arrested by Perkins Police Officer George Hannon following a traffic stop on Highway 33 shortly before midnight on Sept. 3, an affidavit said.
The driver, Bryan Lee Guy, 34, who was released from prison in March 2014, was charged with possessing a Gray 2002 Jaguar stolen in Tulsa, driving under suspension, and having an unauthorized license plate. Guy has been ordered to appear in Payne County District Court on Friday.
His passenger, Shane Allen Gray, 28, who was released from prison in October 2015, had not been formally charged in Payne County, court records show. Gray was booked into the Payne County Jail on a complaint of possessing a stolen vehicle, an affidavit said.
When the Perkins police officer stopped the Jaguar for having an inoperable passenger-side headlight and a non-functioning tail light, “Bryan told me he just picked this vehicle up from a dealer today. Bryan told me the headlights were expensive,” Hannon wrote in an affidavit filed Friday.
After doing a background check, “I requested Bryan step out of the vehicle and come talk to me. I explained to him that his license is suspended. I also explained the vehicle was stolen out of Tulsa,” Hannon wrote in an affidavit.
“I walked Bryan over to Officer Sloan’s vehicle and placed him on the rear passenger side seat…Officer Sloan had Shane exit the vehicle and sit on the push bumper of my patrol vehicle,” Hannon wrote in an affidavit.
“I asked Shane how he knew Bryan. Shane said he just picked him up this morning around 11 a.m. from a Budget Inn on Sheridan in Tulsa. Shane told me the room was under someone named Travis,” whose last name he did not know, Hannon wrote in an affidavit.
“Officer Sloan located two duffle bags in the trunk with clothing…I located an Oklahoma license plate next to a day planner in the trunk. The day planner had the vehicle owner’s name on it,” Hannon wrote in an affidavit.
“Dispatch called me back and informed me that both subjects had history of assault and battery on police in their criminal history,” Hannon alleged in his affidavit.
“Dispatch told me the Tulsa report showed that a dark-skinned white male threatened the vehicle owner with a knife and took his keys and left in the vehicle,” Hannon wrote in his affidavit.
“Shane was wearing a gray T-shirt that had a new Walmart tag attached to the back of his collar. When asked about the T-shirt, Shane just said he was homeless,” the affidavit said.
“Officer Sloan transported Bryan to the Payne County Jail. During the transport, Bryan’s left forearm that was swollen opened a small cut and oozed puss onto the seat and seat back. Upon arrival at the jail, the staff was informed of the cut so the nurse could check on him.
“I transported Shane to the jail without incident. Shane asked me how big the jail was. Shane mentioned a few times that he might need to fight with other inmates when he arrived at the jail. I passed that information on to jail staff,” Hannon wrote in his affidavit.
According to state Department of Corrections records, Guy has 10 prior felony convictions for which he served prison sentences including assault and battery on a police officer in Tulsa County in 2003, attempted larceny of an automobile in 2007 in Tulsa County, assault and battery on a detention officer in Tulsa County in 2007, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in 2011 in Pawnee County.
Gray has three prior felony convictions for which he served prison sentences: intimidation of a witness in Tulsa County in 2014, attempted larceny from a person in Tulsa County in 2013, and possession of a drug with intent to distribute within 2,000 feet of a school, park, public housing or a minor, DOC records show.
Possession of a stolen vehicle after a former felony conviction carries a prison term of three years to life on conviction, court records show.
