A proposed meth offender registry bill could put an end to the high volume of meth activity across Green Country.
A House Public Safety Committee approved House Bill 3380 Wednesday to create a registry of meth offenders similar to the state's sex offender registry.
The bill would apply to anyone convicted of possession, manufacture, or distribution of methamphetamine.
Anyone listed on the registry would be prohibited from purchasing or possessing pseudo ephedrine, a common ingredient used to make meth.
Tulsan Terry Kidwell told Fox 23 he's all for it. He was at home the morning of February 11, on an oxygen treatment, when police arrived at his home to serve an arrest warrant.
Instead, officers caught Kidwell's step-daughter, Candis Browning, and her boyfriend, Mark Abbet, cooking meth.
"You see they broke out all the windows, we were totally caught off guard, we didn't know what was going on," Kidwell said.
Browning and Abbet were arrested on several charges. Police confirmed the pair had been distributing and manufacturing meth for a while.
"It would keep the neighborhoods cleaner and keep people like my stepdaughter and her boyfriend, put away," Kidwell said.
The proposed Meth Offender Registry would be linked to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics' database used to track pseudo ephedrine purchases.
