Muldrow Police Chief Tony Lewis reported that on March 7 Muldrow Police Officer Robert Gude made contact with Charles Redford, 53, of Muldrow during a traffic stop near the corner of 1st and Baker.
During the stop, Gude discovered Redford's driver's license was suspended and took Redford into custody. During a search, Gude found a small plastic bag containing a white powder substance in Redford's possession. Lewis said the substance later field tested positive for methamphetamine.
During questioning, police learned that paraphernalia and other items used in the manufacture of methamphetamine were suspected to be in Redford's home.
A search warrant was obtained, and during the search of Redford's home police uncovered several items normally used in the furtherance of manufacturing and selling of narcotics, Lewis said.
Redford was booked into the city jail on charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia, all after former conviction of a felony. He was later transferred to the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw.
During the same investigation, Lewis said it was revealed Redford rented his house from Kimmie Amos, 41, of Muldrow. Redford's home was located on the same property as Amos' home. He said they received consent from Amos to search her home, uncovering items used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. As a result, Amos was arrested and taken to the Muldrow Police Department.
"Due to medical complications, she was transported to an unlisted medical facility," Lewis said.
Charges are currently pending against Amos, who may face a charge of endeavoring to manufacture a controlled dangerous substance.
