Marijuana, LSD, hash oil, and cash seized from Oxford home
OXFORD – A 29-year-old man was arrested for four drug related felonies last week, and police estimate the drugs the man allegedly had hold a street value of more than $50,000.
Ryan J. Hackett was arrested by the Oxford Police at his residence on Nov. 30 in the Village of Oxford following a month long investigation.
Hackett’s arrest stemmed from a search warrant that was executed by the Oxford Police.
Hackett was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, a class C felony; criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree - hallucinogen 25 milligram - a class B felony; criminal possession of a controlled substance in the third degree - LSD, five milligrams or more - a class B felony; and criminal possession of marijuana in the second degree, a class D felony, which alleges the marijuana seized had an aggregate weight of more than 16 ounces.
After the search and the drugs were taken as evidence, police said that the estimated street value is “well over” $50,000.
Oxford Police Chief Richard Nolan said that along with marijuana and cash, the photo shows, “drug paraphernalia, LSD, sheets of wax paper with concentrated cannabis, 10 syringes, scales and receipts.”
The top charge listed alleges that Hackett was in possession of one or more preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances containing cannabis – hash oil – with an aggregate weight of one ounce or more.
Nolan said the marijuana was packaged for sale.
The cash seized was $1,993.00, according to Nolan.
“During this month investigation I need to commend Officer Steven Rounds and Brandon Lummis for their long hours on this case. With the help from the District Attorney Office, Lieutenant Rich Cobb from the Sheriff Department and State Trooper Hoffman, this case went forward,” said Nolan.
“The dangers and long-term effects of hallucinogens are that they also produce tolerance to other drugs in the class and then the person requires larger doses each time they use it. Long term effects are persistent psychosis and hallucinogen persisting perception disorder also known as ‘flashbacks,’” said Nolan. “The effects are unpredictable and may happen more often than previously thought and sometimes both conditions occur together what can increase psychological problems. Flashbacks may occur spontaneously and repeatedly and there is no treatment plan to prevent this from occurring. Memory loss, physical distress, including dangerous changes in blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and body temperature. Marked psychological distress includes feelings of extreme panic, fear, anxiety, paranoia, invulnerability, exaggerated strength, and aggression. Mixing with high doses of alcohol and other central nervous system depressants can lead to respiratory distress or arrest resulting in death, numbness, loss of coordination, confusion, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, changes in sensory perceptions, and they can also lead to abuse of other drugs looking for a similar high. Users can also result in seizures or severe muscle contractions they can become aggressive or violent or even experience psychotic symptoms similar to schizophrenia, extreme mood swings, depression and uncontrolled laughter. All of the hallucinogens effect the central nervous system and cardiovascular system and can cause respiratory distress, seizures, and tachycardia. The basic abilities to learn and remember can be affected by the use of hallucinogens. In young adults when the brain is not fully developed basic abilities of learning can be halted.”
“The Oxford Police Department created a Road to Recovery Program for just these problems,” continued Nolan. “Our agency has noted a significant increase in narcotic trafficking and use within the past eight months. When an individual enters our police station seeking assistance in treating their addiction, they will not be judged, but rather welcomed. They will be invited to turn in any drugs or drug paraphernalia that they might have , without fear of arrest, in their first step towards recovery. An officer will assist them in completing required intake paperwork and a waiver of liability. The officer on duty will then work vigilantly in contacting partner treatment center to seek an opening for the individual and then work with volunteer "ANGELS" or Partners in Recovery to assist the individual suffering from addiction in receiving transportation to the sponsoring treatment center. Our partnership with PAARI has garnered us access to over 230 treatment centers in the United States willing to sponsor those in need of assistance to receive treatment.
Hackett was arraigned and bail was set at $10,000 cash or $25,000 insurance bond.
Police said the investigation is continuing with further interviews and pending charges.
