EDMOND —
A 19-year-old Edmond man and an 18-year-old Oklahoma City man face drug-related complaints after they were found with marijuana and a substance believed to be LSD, police said.
On Aug. 17, Edmond K-9 Police Officer Joe Rice was out on a possible drug-related call at a city park near 1913 St. Christopher Dr., according to a report filed by Edmond Police Sgt. Chad Langley. The suspects were not cooperating and Officer Rice needed immediate assistance, police said.
Langley arrived and observed two white males seated on the curb near a white Dodge pickup, police said. Rice said he was walking out in the park and saw the pickup arrive. Rice smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the pickup as the males exited, police said.
One of the suspects appeared to be attempting to conceal a plastic baggy, police said. Police approached the other suspect and asked if the truck belonged to him, and what they were doing.
The suspect, Taylor Conrad Hines, 19, of Edmond, appeared to be nervous, and was perspiring as if he had just been involved in some type of heavy activity, police said.
Police said Hines’ behavior prompted a pat search for weapons.
The other suspect, Billy Nolan Cummings, 18, of Oklahoma City, resisted a pat search for weapons, at which point he was handcuffed, police said. A baggy with one small stamp and a colorful star on it, often used to package LSD, was protruding from his hand, police said.
A marijuana cigarette was found in the pickup, parked less than 200 feet from John Ross Elementary School, police said. The green leafy substance and two pieces of paper believed to be laced with LSD were sent to the OSBI for analysis.
Hines was arrested on a complaint of possession of a CDS (marijuana) within 2,000 feet of a school. Cummings was arrested on a complaint of possession of CDS (LSD) within 2,000 feet of a school.
As of Tuesday evening, they had not yet been booked into the county jail. Not every incident leads to a formal charge under the law. If charges are filed, innocence or guilt is determined by a court of law.
