Chelsea police make drug busts
October 29, 2009 — For the past three weeks, the Chelsea Police Department has been on a mission to rid the town of drugs.
It all started on Oct. 13 when Jimmy Earl Patton, 37, was arrested in connection with the manufacturing of methamphetamine when a “shake and bake” meth lab was discovered in his vehicle on a routine traffic stop.
Inside the vehicle Murrell and Reserve Officer Daniel Avery also found marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Patton was booked into the Rogers County Jail on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held in lieu of a $51,500 bond.
Four days later, two young adults were arrested on drugs charges as well.
Jonathan David Knipe, 19, and Sheldon Wayne Coen, 19, were arrested on charges of possession of controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.
The two teens were arrested after a report was made of narcotics being sold out of a home at 907 B Willow. A search warrant was obtained, according to records, and served resulting in the arrests.
Knipe has been convicted of felony charges previously when he pleaded guilty last month in Rogers County and in July in Mayes County to stealing Chelsea Mayor Carl Carmack’s vehicle and setting it on fire and a 4-wheeler in the bed which belonged to the mayor’s son.
Knipe is being held in lieu of a $130,500 bond and Coen must post a $105,500 bond.
On Wednesday, two more drug offenders were arrested in Chelsea.
Stacy McCombs, 33, and Patrick Stanley, 40, were taken into custody after a traffic stop on 6th Street, according to reports.
Meth, marijuana and a weapon were found inside the vehicle after it was searched and the two were booked into the Rogers County Jail on charges of possession of controlled dangerous substance, possession of marijuana and possession of a concealed and dangerous weapon. Bonds for McCombs and Stanley have not been set.
