A Hominy man is facing felony charges after allegedly bringing meth into jail.

 

71-year-old William Hargus was charged on Friday with possession of a firearm after a conviction of a felony and possession of contraband in jail or a penal institution.

 

According to the Bartlesville Police Department, Hargus was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over on a traffic stop. With K9 assistance, officers allegedly located a holster on the hip of Hargus and found a firearm underneath his seat.

 

While Hargus was being searched at the Washington County Jail, a deputy allegedly found a glass pipe and tested it positive for methamphetamine.

 

Hargus will appear in court again on March 7 at 9 a.m. His bond is set at $15,000.
