A 33-year-old Sallisaw man was arrested Friday on various drug and firearms-related charges.

Adam Rodgers was arrested at his home north of Sallisaw, off old Highway 17, Frank Loyd with the District 27 Drug Task Force said. Rodgers was booked into the county jail on charges of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of firearms in commission of a felony and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He was later released on an $11,000 bond and was due to be arraigned in Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw, Wednesday.

Loyd said investigating officers seized eight rifles and three handguns at Rodgers’ house, and about four pounds of marijuana. They also seized a 2000 Ford pickup truck and $1,900.

Assisting the Drug Task Force in the investigation and arrest was the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Office, Sallisaw police and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
