(Stillwater, Okla.) – A Stillwater man who was released from prison three months ago has been jailed on $20,000 bail on new charges of attempting to elude a Stillwater police officer, running a roadblock, driving on a suspended license, possessing methamphetamine and having drug paraphernalia described as a syringe with residue, all on Oct. 19.
At the time of his latest arrest, Jacob Ross-Hadley Barton, 24, was free on bond on a felony charge of breaking into a Stillwater man’s truck on July 25 — five days after Barton got out of prison, court records show.
Due to his criminal record in Payne and Oklahoma counties, Barton could be given as much as three life prison terms if convicted of his all three of his current felony counts. Burton could be given three years in jail if convicted of his three misdemeanor counts.
In his latest case filed Monday, Barton has been accused of attempting to elude Stillwater Police Officer Brett Moore “from Jardot and McElroy in the city of Stillwater, to Glencoe Road and Fairgrounds, narrowly missing several vehicles including a school bus that had to take evasive action,” on Oct. 19, according to his first felony count.
Barton also has been accused of running a roadblock set up at Glencoe Road and Fairgrounds Road by a Payne County sheriff’s deputy on Oct. 19, according to his second felony count.
Barton has also been accused of driving on a suspended license, possessing methamphetamine and having drug paraphernalia, all on Oct. 19 , according to his three misdemeanor counts.
According to court and state Department of Corrections records, Barton had previously been convicted of:
* car theft in 2014 in Payne County, for which he was sent to the Regimented Inmate Discipline (RID) prison boot camp program in October of 2014, then placed on five years’ probation in June of 2015, then sentenced to five years in prison in March 2016 for violating his probation, then after he got out of prison on July 20 of this year allegedly failed to report to his probation officer to begin nine months of post-imprisonment supervision;
* concealing a stolen vehicle, attempting to elude, and knowingly concealing stolen property in 2014 in Payne County for which he received the same concurrent sentences as above, RID, then probation, then prison;
* car theft in 2015 in Oklahoma County for which he received a five-year prison term;
* methamphetamine possession and concealing stolen property in 2015 in Oklahoma County for which he received a concurrent five-year prison term, from which he was apparently released in July of this year.
