MADILL, Okla. (AP) - A Madill police officer accused of buying methamphetamine from an undercover agent was charged Friday with felony possession of a controlled dangerous substance within 2,000 feet of a park, according to Marshall County court records.
Michael J. Stephenson, 50, also was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors.
He was suspended with pay Thursday.
Stephenson is accused of buying $30 worth of meth from an undercover Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agent in a park, spokesman Mark Woodward said. The transaction was videotaped by OBN agents.
Stephenson, who has worked for the Madill Police Department since 1997, was arraigned Friday afternoon. Bail was set at $50,000. Stephenson has worked in law enforcement in Marshall County for 22 years, Madill Police Chief James Fullingim said.
