Riner pointed out to the court that the bond was al- ready low, considering the seriousness of the charge. Judge Looney left the bond at $25,000. Cagle has plead not guilty to the charge. David Allen Ray, age 30, of Story was charged with aggrevated assault, terror- istic threatening 1st degree, and domestic battery 3rd degree. The irst two charges are class D felonies and the domestic battery 3rd degree is a class A misdemeanor. Ray entered not guilty pleas in for all three charges and Judge Looney set a pre- trial date for Ray on April 5. Trent A. Hackney, age 22, of Mount Ida was sen- tenced to 108 months (nine years) for furnishing, pos- sessing, or using prohibited articles. Hackney was found guilty of possession of a cell phone while serving as a trustee at the Montgomery County Jail. MCSO apprehends fugitive MOUNT IDA – A visit to a Mount Ida courtroom proved to be an Oklahoma man’s undoing, when he was recognized by Montgomery County Sheriff David White. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Ofice received infor- mation regarding an individual who was wanted in Oklahoma on a $50,000 bond for eluding. White recognized Chelton Blevins, the person in question, as someone he had recently seen in court. Blevins was not there on charges, but had accompa- nied someone else to court. White made contact with the individual and identiied him as Blevins, who was then taken into custody and transported to the Montgomery County Sher- iff’s Ofice. Blevins waived his right to extradition and was transported back to Oklahoma by Oklahoma oficials.
