Robert Lee Myers, 21, of Vian is charged with distribution of a controlled substance in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw. According to court records, he faces from to two years to life in prison and a fine up to $20,000.
According to court records, Vian Police Chief Mack White had Officer Terry Garland ride his motorcycle to an area in Vian where residents had complained that Myers and others were selling drugs.
"Since Officer Garland is not known in Vian at this time, I sent him to try to buy drugs from individuals in that area," Mack said in his report.
White supplied Garland with money to try to purchase drugs, and noted that the serial numbers on the bills were catalogued.
Garland reported to White that Myers allegedly told Garland that he did not have any drugs at that time, but told him to come back in about an hour.
An hour later, Garland returned to the same area and made a cocaine purchase from Myers. Garland returned to the police department with the drugs, which field-tested positive for the presence of cocaine, White reported.
