Two residents charged following seizure of narcotics search warrant
By AMIE CATO-REMER Editor

A Vian woman is charged with cultivation of controlled substance, unlawful possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia after a narcotics search warrant was served at her residence last month.

Bobbi J. Ross, 50, pled not guilty to her charges and received a $15,000 bond. She is now scheduled for a Nov. 6 felony disposition docket in Sequoyah County District Court, according to court records.

Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s deputy Galen Irvin reported that on Sept. 9, investigators and deputies executed the warrant at Ross’s residence where she and Steven J. Jurey, 48, of Sallisaw, were detained while a search was conducted.

Authorities reported finding four firearms, one of which was located in a vehicle belonging to Jurey, and the others reportedly belonged to Ross. Officers also discovered a white crystal substance on a table, along with a set of operational digital scales.

In Ross’s bedroom, police discovered two bags of a green leafy substance, along with a cooler containing more of the substance, both loose and in plastic bags, and another set of digital scales.

At the back of the home, authorities reported finding multiple mature marijuana plants ranging from six to nine feet tall, water hoses leading to the plants, limb trimmers, and liquid fertilizer.

It was noted in the probable cause affidavit that Ross does not possess an Oklahoma Medical Marijuana card.

The items that were found were seized and submitted to the state crime lab for further analysis, according to the affidavit.

Jurey was charged with possession of a sawed-off shotgun/rifle and received a $5,000 bond. He also pled not guilty to his charge and has had no further court dates scheduled following an Oct. 9 felony disposition docket before Associate District Judge Kyle Waters.

District Attorney Jack Thorp said cultivation of a controlled substance is punishable by a fine not to exceed $50,000 and imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for not more than 10 years.
