Cheyenne Man Facing Felony Theft and Drug Possession Charges
A 39-year-old Cheyenne man is facing three felony charges after being arrested on two warrants.
According to a booking sheet, police spotted James Mathew Gulley, who they knew to have a felony warrant, riding his bicycle on East Lincolnway at 6:39 p.m. on Sept. 28 and contacted him at the McDonald's at 2535 E. Lincolnway.
Police say the warrant was for two counts of felony theft, a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison, up to a $10,000 fine, or both.
Laramie County Circuit Court Judge Sean C. Chambers signed the warrant on Sept. 12.
Police say Gulley also had a misdemeanor warrant for failure to pay $270 on original charges of possession of a controlled substance in liquid form and driving while license was canceled, suspended, or revoked.
That warrant was also signed by Chambers on Sept. 12.
Search Leads to Crystal Meth
Gulley was handcuffed and his backpack was searched, which reportedly contained a plastic bag with 1.4 grams of crystal methamphetamine in it.
Police say Gulley was previously convicted of drug possession in September 2006, March 2016, September 2017, and March 2019.
Gulley was taken to the Laramie County Detention Center, where he was booked on the warrants and subsequently charged with possession of a controlled substance - third or subsequent offense, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, up to a $5,000 fine, or both.
Gulley was seen on the three cases on Oct. 1 in Circuit Court, during which his total bond was set at $4,270 cash and his preliminary hearing was scheduled for Oct. 11 at 10:30 a.m.
Please remember that all suspects are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
