A Roland woman who reportedly brought a syringe into the Sequoyah County Detention Center was charged with bringing contraband into a jail facility, a felony, according to records filed Oct. 23.
Shantel Cleaver, 31, was also charged with misdemeanor counts of eluding and obstructing an officer. She was arrested Oct. 18 after a brief high-speed chase down rural county roads.
The woman identified herself as Shantel Brown, but a records search of that name yielded no results.
Two passengers in the vehicle identified themselves as Aaron Wilborn and Kenneth Brown. A search of their records revealed that both men had valid arrest warrants in Muskogee and Sequoyah counties. Kenneth Brown was detained on his warrants, but Wilborn was released because Muskogee County chose not to have him extradited.
After learning the driver’s real name, Shantel Cleaver, the Sequoyah County deputy had dispatch check her records, which revealed two felony arrest warrants in Sequoyah County.
Upon arriving at the Sequoyah County Jail, Brown and Cleaver denied having any contraband on them and consented to a search. A hypodermic syringe and a white, crystalline substance were found inside Cleaver’s bra. The substance later tested positive for methamphetamine.
Cleaver pleaded not guilty to the charges on Oct. 23. Her next court appearance is at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 6.
The felony charge is punishable by imprisonment in the State Penitentiary for up to five years, a fine of up to $1,000 or both.
