Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter has filed drug trafficking and other related charges on two Tulsans after officers with the Tulsa Police Department searched a southeast Tulsa residence.  

Officers found James Mitchell and Tynisa Williams in possession of nearly two pounds of methamphetamine, three pounds of ecstasy and 10 guns, including assault-style weapons, during the execution of a recent search warrant.  

The investigation by the Tulsa Police Department was conducted by officers working overtime and paid for by the attorney general’s annual Safe Oklahoma Grant disbursement.

Hunter said the annual grant is helping to cut down on violent crime in the state.

“Drug dealers need to be held accountable,” Hunter said. “Thanks to this annual grant, combined with proper allocation and strategy, as we consistently see from the Tulsa Police Department, we will remain dedicated to deploying these resources to cut down on violent crime statewide.”   

Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan said a portion of the money is being used for special projects which target these violent drug traffickers and pay for overtime.

“The funds from the Safe Oklahoma Grant are making Tulsa and countless communities around the state safer for our friends, families and neighbors,” Chief Jordan said.

In addition to the methamphetamine, ecstasy and weapons, officials also seized nearly four pounds of marijuana, digital scales and other paraphernalia.
