As a result of continuing investigations into the distribution of methamphetamine in Sequoyah County, a Gore man was arrested on various drug charges Friday afternoon, Sheriff Johnny Philpot said.

Area law enforcement officer served a search warrant for drugs at Jerry Wayne Bohannan's home, located north of Vian, Philpot said.

Officers reported finding substances appearing to be methamphetamine and marijuana, along with items of paraphernalia commonly associated with the use of controlled dangerous substances.

Bohannan, 39, was arrested and transported to the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw. He was booked on charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Since Bohannan has been convicted previously of a felony on two or more occasions, he is being held without bond.

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.
