A former Tulsa television news anchor has been formally charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine, a felony, after getting arrested just after midnight on Monday.

The police report alleges an officer saw a vehicle with an expired tag driving near 41st and Harvard and pulled the vehicle over. The officer says the driver, former KTUL anchor Jerry Giordano, did not have insurance for the vehicle.

The officer says he issued a citation for not having insurance and called Storey Wrecker to impound the vehicle. According to the report the officer conducted a search of the vehicle and found a baggie with a dirty crystalline substance in the driver seat, a baggie with a white substance in the driver door panel and a large rock of a crystalline substance in the door handled of the vehicle.

Police arrested Giordano on possession of a controlled dangerous substance after the item in one of the baggies tested positive for meth. Giordano was previously arrested for drunk driving in 2008.

Not all of us on this planet are perfect. Maybe those who struggle with life anger or sicken you, so I suggest you simply turn away and then they won't exist as far as you're concerned. Addiction is an illness and like cancer, nobody wants it.

Thousands of Tulsans do it on a daily basis,where do you think all the stringy haired ,toothless,lizard eyed zombies come from,I have no pity for them whatsoever,everyone knows what this concoction from hell is made from and anyone who puts it in their body deserves the results,we can only hope they don't linger on making their families suffer.

It is truly a sad situation, the epidemic of meth touchs everyone life. I pray for Mr. Jerry G., but by the grace of God there go all of us. Just remember your family member could be next.

Its disgusting.

Sad..... how in the world could a sane person ever make the decision to start using this poison? I understand once you are an addict maybe you can't stop, but you are'nt an addict the first time, knowing what it does to people why would you be willing to even try it the first time? Look at this man who used to be a handsome, well known, productive, well liked member of society, now he looks like the meth zombies you see dragging their pathetic butts around the streets mumbling to themselves. Good God, what possesses anyone to do meth, it is like signing a walking death sentence.

He'll have to move in order to ever be taken seriously again. His name is toxic around Tulsa now.
