Senior Citizens Know How to Party in Cushing

Cushing, OK - A senior citizen in Cushing is arrested on multiple drug crimes. Believe it or not, it is not his first run-in with the law.

According to court records, Kenneth Thompson, 81, is facing felony charges for 1) possession of cocaine, 2) possession of marijuana, 3) possession of drug paraphernalia and 4) unlawful use of a police scanner.

And you thought those seniors were just passing time sitting on those park benches - Hell no, they're dealing drugs!

Seems Thompson's stash was uncovered during the execution of a search warrant at his home. Now, wouldn't that make for an interesting, "anything exciting happen at grandpa's this weekend?" story.

To make matters worse for Thompson, all of these charges are enhanced by the fact he is already a convicted felon.

According to the prosecution, Thompson was convicted in 1995 of the felony crime of "unlawful delivery of a CDS" and in 2001 for possession of marijuana.

Charges were filed against Thompson on March 20.

Thompson remains in jail, unable to make bond.

UPDATE: According to media reports, Thompson is a retired school teacher and was well respected in his community.
