A Roland man who was arrested last week on a felony warrant for assault may now be facing drug trafficking and other charges after authorities uncovered 30 grams of crystal methamphetamine in the man's home.

Allen Ray Teague, 44, along with David Teague, 41, both of Roland, were first charged last week in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw with assault counts in connection with a July 24 fight that landed another man in the hospital.

Roland Police Officer Jeremy Day said on the same day police served the felony warrant for the assault charges on the Teagues, they received more information that resulted in the search of Allen Teague's home, which is located across from the police station.

Day said after they served the warrants for the assault charges, police and sheriff's deputies secured a search warrant for Teague's home. During the search, Day said they uncovered 30 grams of crystal methamphetamine, marijuana, a loaded gun, and $1,515 in cash. They also recovered a stolen vehicle. Day estimated that the methamphetamine had a street value of between $2,500 and $3,000.

Day said Allen Teague was booked into the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw on additional charges of trafficking in a controlled dangerous substance, possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana within 2,000 feet of public housing, knowingly concealing stolen property, being a felon in possession of a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm in commission of a felony, all after former conviction of a felony.

Allen Teague has previous felony convictions from 1998 and 1999, according to court records.

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.
