A Slater man has been charged with felonies relating to two incidents on October 15.
According to a probable-cause statement, during a visit by a DFS worker, who was escorted by a Slater Police officer, authorities allege they found 32-year-old Jesie Allen Wood to be in possession of four small plastic bags containing a substance believed to be methamphetamine that he had tried to conceal on his person. Authorities also say a juvenile was in the house at the time of the visit.
Another probable-cause statement says that while being searched at the Saline County Jail after his arrest, another plastic baggie of methamphetamine allegedly dropped to the floor out of Wood’s pants.
Online court documents say Wood has been charged with Class D Felonies for Possession of a Controlled Substance, Except 35 Grams or Less of Marijuana or Synthetic Cannabinoid, Delivery or Possession of a Controlled Substance, Except 35 Grams or Less of Marijuana or Synthetic Cannabinoid at a County Jail and Endangering the Welfare of a Child Involving Drugs; and two drug-related misdemeanors. Bond has been set at $10,000 cash, surety or 10-percent approved.
Wood was arraigned on Wednesday, October 17, and his cause has been continued for a counsel-status hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 24, at Saline County Circuit Court.
