The Caldwell County grand jury recently returned several indictments including drug possession, drug trafficking, burglary and other offenses.
29-year old Jimmie Beth Falling of Chouteau, Oklahoma and 33-year old Michael Risingsun-Braden of Rose, Oklahoma were each indicted on a charge of receiving stolen property over $1,000 but under $10,000 by complicity and operating on a suspended or revoked operator’s license. Risingsun-Braden was also indicted on charges of first-degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The pair were arrested in July after Princeton Police officers were called to a complaint of possible shoplifters at Walmart and an investigation revealed Falling and Risingsun-Braden were operating a stolen vehicle out of Oklahoma.
A true bill was returned on Baylee K. Wells of Marion on charges of speeding, first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance over 2 grams of methamphetamine 1st offense, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, and failure of non-owner to maintain required insurance 1st offense.
Two separate true bills were returned on 59-year old Dwayne E. Armstrong of Princeton. One indictment charges him with first-degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. The second indictment charges Armstrong with careless driving, failure of owner to maintain required insurance 1st offense, failure to register the transfer of motor vehicle and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The charges stem from July when Armstrong was taken into custody by the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office on a complaint warrant for the charges listed in the second indictment and was found to be in possession of the meth as he was being booked into the Caldwell County Jail.
46-year old Billy Wesley Newberry of Princeton was indicted on a charge of first-degree possession of a controlled substance – methamphetamine. The charge stems from November of 2021 when Newberry was arrested by Princeton Police on a warrant for failure to appear and was found with meth in his belongings.
A true bill was returned on 59-year old William A. Lindsey of Princeton for third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal mischief, and violations of conditions of release. The indictment alleges that on July 4, 2022, Lindsey remained in a building unlawfully with the intent to commit a crime and intentionally or wantonly destroyed, defaced, and damaged property. By committing a criminal offense, the indictment indicates Lindsey violated his conditions of release from custody.
26-year old Austin Jay Talley of Burna was indicted on charges of DUI 1st offense and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Talley was arrested in July of this year after Princeton Police officers responded to the Probation and Parole Office for a man under the influence of intoxicants and found a handgun in a vehicle Talley had driven to the office.
