Following an auto collision on New Sapulpa Road, a Sapulpa man was arrested on subsequent DUI, drug possession and traffic complaints and an outstanding warrant Friday afternoon.
Arrest records showed Matthieu Lucien Turnbull, 41, faces possible felony charges for possession of drugs - subsequent offense, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence - subsequent offense, driving under suspension, illegal stopping, maintaining a place for storing drugs and possession of marijuana.
Police reported about 1:15 p.m. they were called to an accident on New Sapulpa Road near the Creek Turnpike.
Witnesses said a blue 1994 GMC?truck struck a black 2001 Mercedes. They said the black car was weaving "recklessly" all over the road and then locked up the brakes.
Patrolman Chris Roach began gathering information on the accident. He approached the car and identified the driver as Turnbull.
Roach said Turnbull appeared to be under the influence of intoxicants. He was unstable on his feet, had slurred speech and had difficulty answering simple questions. Police said Turnbull kept putting his hands in his pockets after they repeatedly asked him not to do so.
Police recognized Turnbull as "combative" during previous arrests. They quickly placed him in handcuffs for officer safety.
The passenger told police she changed places with Turnbull because he told her to. Police said she was also intoxicated. She complained of neck pain from the collision.
As police inventoried the vehicle before it was towed from the scene, they found methamphetamine in a cigarette package and 5.5 grams of marijuana.
Turnbull agreed to the State's blood test. Police took him to St. John Sapulpa for testing. They sent the results to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations for processing.
Court records showed Turnbull has several misdemeanor convictions dating back to the 1990s. Some of his cases including firearms, assault, domestic abuse and resisting an officer were dismissed.
There have been several protective orders filed against him.
Following his multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Creek?County Justice Center, some of his felonies were reduced to misdemeanors, and he was serving a 20-year suspended sentence for combined crimes. These cases included drugs and theft.
He received a settlement in his lawsuit case where he alleged sexual assault and injuries while in custody.
His outstanding warrant was issued in Okmulgee County for a driving under suspension case.
As of press time, Turnbull had not yet had a bond hearing. It was scheduled for some time on Saturday.
