Joplin bicyclist charged with meth trafficking after running stop sign


A Joplin bicyclist who allegedly ran a stop sign Thursday finds himself facing a far more serious charge.

The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed felony drug trafficking charges against Clinton John Gray (DOB 1977) this morning.

According to the probable cause statement, Gray was taken into custody after the Joplin Police Department officer determined he had several outstanding warrants.







I took Gray into custody for his warrants, Gray advised he had a pipe in his pocket. I conducted a search of his person; I removed a glass pipe commonly used for ingesting methamphetamine. I removed a black pouch and located the following items inside the pouch. 

-1x clear bag containing 390 MG of a brown/white powdery substance. 

-1x clear bag containing 3.75 Grams of a crystal-like rock substance. 

1x clear bag containing 1.95 Grams of a crystal-like rock substance. 








I read Gray his Miranda warning at the jail. Gray advised that there were three bags of methamphetamine in the black pouch for his personal use.

1x clear bag containing 1.21 Grams of a crystal-like rock substance was located at the jail during an inventory.

Gray's bond is set at $50,000 surety or $10,000 cash.
