Failing to appear in court and pay court fines has put an admitted felon back behind bars.
44-year-old Charles Harold Waggoner of West, Texas and previously from Elk City is in the Elk City Jail on a $100-thousand dollar bond after being arrested in Elk City on a Cotton County Warrant.
Waggoner pleaded guilty in 2014 to a felony charge in Cotton County of possession of a controlled, dangerous substance, cocaine, and a criminal misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. He was given 10 years with five years suspended and court costs.
According to online court records, Waggoner has recently been cited for violating conditions of his suspended sentence and on July 18, 2017, the courts issued a motion to revoke his suspended sentence. Two weeks ago, a bench warrant was issued for Waggoner for failure to appear in court in Cotton County. He additionally failed to appear to a following hearing last week, on Thursday, also in Cotton County.
It’s not the first time Waggoner’s faced an application to revoke. When he was arrested on the drug charge in June of 2013, he’d been pulled over for allegedly traveling 89 miles an hour in a 75 mile per hour zone. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper wrote in the 2013 probable cause affidavit that Waggoner additionally had an outstanding Comanche County warrant, then, on an application to revoke a criminal misdemeanor charge.
