JENKS, Okla. — Federal agents arrested 29-year-old, Badlands McNally, at R.L. Jones Airport in Jenks on Wednesday after over 100 pounds of meth and multiple guns were found on his plane.
According to an arrest report, Customs and Border Protection notified Homeland Security Investigations Tulsa Agents that a plane was headed to the Tulsa area and that agents should perform a pilot certification inspection on the pilot of the plane.
Agents made contact with McNally as he was opening his hangar and he became nervous after agents began to ask questions about drugs on his plane, according to the arrest report.
McNally told agents that he flew in from Watonga and soon after he admitted to having drugs on the plane. He continued on to say that, “he was worried he may get his head chopped off,” a deputy wrote in the arrest report.
Deputies and the Tulsa police K9 unit were called to the scene to search the plane and that’s when the drugs and guns were found.
Agents found two large black duffel bags carrying a total of 101.7 pounds of methamphetamine, according to the arrest report.
The deputies reportedly found a rifle, two pistols, and multiple magazines behind the pilot seat in addition to the drugs.
Authorities arrested McNally who faces charges for aggravated trafficking of illegal drugs and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
