Drug charges have Enid man facing life sentences

By Cass Rains, Staff Writer

An Enid man is facing two possible life sentences on drug charges after being stopped Nov. 13 with three pounds of marijuana in his car.

Dustin Cain Buffalo, 25, was charged with counts of unlawful possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled substance, both felonies.

Buffalo was stopped about 5:05 p.m. Nov. 13 by Garfield County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Logan Niles in the 8400 block of South Oklahoma 74 for illegal window tint.

While speaking to Buffalo, Niles reported he could smell an odor of burnt marijuana and saw Buffalo putting a plastic bag into his front pocket, according to a court document. When asked about the smell of marijuana in the car, Buffalo said there “might be a blunt” in the car, according to the affidavit. Niles asked Buffalo if he had any drugs on his person, and Buffalo said he did and gave Niles a small plastic bag of marijuana from his front pocket, according to the affidavit.

Deputy Jon Marshall arrived with his K-9, GeGe, who alerted to the presence of drugs inside the vehicle. During a search of the vehicle, the deputies recovered three one-pound packages of marijuana rolled inside a shirt in the back seat.

Buffalo is being charged after former conviction of two felonies and is free on $20,000 bond.
