(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater man has been jailed on $100,000 bail pending his arraignment this afternoon on charges of trafficking fentanyl and possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
If convicted of both counts, Christopher Owen Mulvey, 46, could be imprisoned for as long as 27 years and fined $300,000, according to court documents filed last week.
Mulvey was arrested at 3:50 pm on July 28 after a search warrant was served at his residence, which was entered with a ram by police after no one answered the door, an affidavit alleged.
Stillwater Police Detective Josh Carson alleged in an affidavit, “In the southeast bedroom, I encountered a male standing near the closet I know as Christopher Mulvey. I know Mulvey is heavily involved in drug trafficking from previous encounters and investigations.
“I located a baggy under a dresser in the closet Mulvey was standing near that contained numerous blue M30 pills. I know from my training these are pressed fentanyl pills that have recently been plaguing the Stillwater area.
“I also found a large amount of a clear substance that appeared to be methamphetamine in a dresser in the same room. A set of working digital sales and packaging material was also located. Mulvey told me it was his room where all the drugs were found.”
A total of 2.5 grams of fentanyl was seized, which is two and one-half times the amount required for trafficking, the affidavit alleged. Also 6.5 grams of methamphetamine was seized, the affidavit alleged.
