11/7/09 — OKC, OK – An Oklahoma City firefighter accused of felony armed drug dealing is given a free pass by prosecutors in Oklahoma County.

As originally reported on 4/5/07 – Oklahoma City firefighter James Kenneth Frazer, 45, was arrested and charged with three drug related felonies (trafficking illegal drugs, distribution of CDS, and possession of a weapon while committing a felony) in May of 2006.

Only two months later, and while out on $30,000 bond, Frazer reportedly was in a high speed chase from police when they tried to pull him and fellow felon Leshone Farmer, 29, over to question them about a reported theft.

The chase ended near a wooded area several miles later. (read an account by the Daily Oklahoman)

Frazer was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on complaints of receiving or concealing stolen property.

Most law abiding citizens would find comfort in the belief that the Oklahoma criminal justice system would deliver swift and appropriate punishment to an individual engaged in such activities. Not so apparently if you’re a member of the Oklahoma City Fire Department.

On October 14, 2009 Frazer pled guilty to felony possession of a CDS with intent to distribute (aka, Drug Dealer) and felony possession of a weapon while committing a felony. The third charge of conspiracy for unlawful distribution of a CDS was dismissed. And what was this armed felon drug dealer sentenced to? A mere 5-years deferred! No prison, no drug court and no charges for the high speed police chase. I’m sure its all just a coincidence he’s also a firefighter.

11/7/09 – Norman, OK — A man accused of providing a 12-year old neighbor with marijuana and alcohol is apparently on the run and the presiding judge is none-too-happy.

Originally reported by the OKRA News Blog June 29, 2007 – Gary Allen Campbell, 44, was arrested June 6, 2007 after police discovered a 12-year old neighbor in his apartment who was obviously intoxicated. The boy was transported to the hospital where it was discovered his blood alcohol level was .079.

According to police, the young boy told police that Campbell gave him KD Whiskey and hits of marijuana from a glass pipe.

Campbell was scheduled to appear before a Cleveland County judge on October 28, 2009 but was a no-show (Campbell’s third no-show in this case).

Judge Lucas apparently is not playing around and issued the following order, “bench warrant to be issued, NCIC all states, new bond set at $20,000, not to be lowered or reduced. Defendant to be brought before this judge within 24-hours of arrest.”

6/29/07 — Norman, OK – Ahh neighborly love… isn’t it great when your kids can trouble your neighbors for a cup of sugar, an extra hammer to hang a picture or even a few mixed drinks and some marijuana for your pre-teen son or daughter?

Meet neighbor of the year Gary Allen Campbell, 44, living on Brandywine Lane in Norman.

Seems on June 6th, a 12-year old neighbor boy was found in Campbell’s apartment by the boys mother. This, after her 9-year old child told her his brother was in Campbell’s residence consuming alcohol and marijuana.

The mother called police who located the boy and transported him to the hospital. According to court papers, the boys BAC was .079.

The boy allegedly told police he was given “KD whiskey” and smoked pot from a glass pipe provided by Campbell.

When investigators questioned Campbell, he admitted to giving the pre-teen three mixed drinks containing Kentucky Deluxe whiskey and Coke. Campbell denied providing the child with marijuana.

On the 13th, Campbell was charged with the felony crimes of furnishing alcohol to a minor and causing or encouraging a minor to commit a drug related crime.

Update: On 10/28/09 Campbell failed to appear in court and a warrant was issued for his arrest, and the judge in this case is not playing around, the official journal entry reads, “bench warrant to be issued, NCIC all states, new bond set at $20,000, not to be lowered or reduced. Defendant to be brought before the judge within 24-hours of arrest.”

OKC, OK – A Oklahoma City firefighter, already in trouble with the law, is arrested overnight. OKRA News Blog questions whether he is receiving preferential treatment.

Back in May of 2006, Oklahoma City Firefighter James Kenneth Frazer, 45, was arrested and charged with three drug related felonies (trafficking illegal drugs, distribution of CDS, and possession of a weapon while committing a felony).

Frazer posted a $30,000 bond on May 10th and was released awaiting trial.

Only two months later (7/16/06) Frazer was involved in a high speed chase after police attempted to question him and another man about a reported theft.

Frazer and the other man, Leshone Farmer, 29, fled in a truck with police chasing after them.

The chase ended near a wooded area several miles later. (read an account by the Daily Oklahoman)

Frazer was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on complaints of receiving or concealing stolen property.

While embarrassing to the Oklahoma City Fire Department, it pales in comparison to the favortism shown by then Oklahoma County District Attorney Wes Lane and the courts when Frazer was given a ‘get out of jail free card’ and allowed to post a Own Recognizance bond.

This, even though he was already out on bond for a drug trafficking felony involving a weapon and then led police on a high speed chase in a truck containing stolen property.

To add insult to injury, as of this date, Frazer has yet to be charged for the police chase or stolen property he was found in possession of.

Since Frazer’s release he has been seen many times by this blog’s author and others to be buying drugs and even apparently prostituting a woman, Kemala Brown, on South Robinson Ave.

In December, a warrant was issued for Frazer’s arrest for violating the conditions of his O.R. bond.

Last night Frazer was arrested on that warrant and the additional charge of “failure to comply.”

Also arrested last night was the prostitute Frazer has been seen in the company of (Kemala Brown) who has an extensive prison record.

Update: Frazer was found guilty of two of the three drug charges and given a 5-year deferred sentence.

Cushing, OK – A senior citizen in Cushing is arrested on multiple drug crimes. Believe it or not, it is not his first run-in with the law.

According to court records, Kenneth Thompson, 81, is facing felony charges for 1) possession of cocaine, 2) possession of marijuana, 3) possession of drug paraphernalia and 4) unlawful use of a police scanner.

And you thought those seniors were just passing time sitting on those park benches – Hell no, they’re dealing drugs!

Seems Thompson’s stash was uncovered during the execution of a search warrant at his home. Now, wouldn’t that make for an interesting, “anything exciting happen at grandpa’s this weekend?” story.

To make matters worse for Thompson, all of these charges are enhanced by the fact he is already a convicted felon.

According to the prosecution, Thompson was convicted in 1995 of the felony crime of “unlawful delivery of a CDS” and in 2001 for possession of marijuana.

Charges were filed against Thompson on March 20.

Thompson remains in jail, unable to make bond.

UPDATE: According to media reports, Thompson is a retired school teacher and was well respected in his community.

Norman, OK – At least two University of Oklahoma students charged with felony possession of drugs near a neighborhood park.

Seems on February 4, members of the Norman Police Department went to an apartment at 3700 SE 12th Ave. to serve a warrant for one Ashley Ferrel Stokes, 21.

When police arrived they were greeted by Justin Kyle McChristian, 23.

Seems McChristian didn’t bother to tidy-up the community pot stash sitting on what is described in the affidavit as, “a blue tray with marijuana on the end table next to the front door in plain view.”

Once inside the apartment police were introduced to Joshua “Josh” Bryan Sylvester, 21.

Allison Lindsay Snow, 21, and Ashley Stokes arrived home just in time to find police rummaging through their underwear drawers.

Upon completion of their search, police listed the following contraband;

• 1.1 oz. of marijuana.
• Five glass bongs (Dude!).
• A wooden marijuana grinder.
• Assorted small zip baggies with white residue.
• Assorted drug paraphernalia.

Joshua “Josh” Bryan Sylvester is listed as a freshman at OU and Allison Lindsay Snow is listed as a senior in the college of journalism and mass communications.

All four are facing felony drug and paraphernalia charges for possession within 1,000′ of a public park.

Update: Sylvester pled guilty on 8/8/07 and was sentenced to a $500 fine, 40 hours of community service and 1 year of supervision. McChristian pled guilty on 7/25/07 and was sentenced to a $500 fine, 40 hours of community service and 1 year of supervision.
