NOTE: An indictment only means that the grand jury believes there is enough evidence to charge the accused party with the crime. The accused individual is usually given a trail before another type of jury, which is referred to as a petit or trial jury in order to determine whether they are guilty or innocent of the crime often times this is confused with a conviction.
A conviction on the other hand is a judge or juries decision in which someone is found guilty of committing the crime in which they are being chaged.
Anderson has yet to be convicted of these charges.

MISSING DRUGS LEAD TO CHARGES AGAINST WEATHERFORD DETECTIVE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CUSTER COUNTY, Oklahoma (April 19, 2022) – A Weatherford Police Department detective is facing charges after an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI). Today, Detective Jeremy Anderson turned himself into the Custer County Sheriff’s Department for one charge of Larceny of Controlled Dangerous Substances, a felony, and/or one charge of a Public Officer’s Willful Neglect to Perform their Duty, a misdemeanor.
The investigation began on September 9, 2021, when the OSBI was requested to investigate a substantial quantity of drugs, namely Fentanyl, was discovered missing from the evidence room of the Weatherford Police Department. The narcotics were discovered missing when a drug trafficking case was transferred from District Court to Federal Court for prosecution.
After a lengthy investigation, the case was presented to the Oklahoma Multi-County Grand Jury on April 12, 2022. Indictments for both charges were handed down by the Grand Jury and charges were filed today in the District Court of Custer County.
Anderson was released after posting a $10,000 bond.
The OSBI would like to thank the District II Drug Task Force, the Office of the Attorney General, the Weatherford Police Department and the District II District Attorney’s Office for their assistance and cooperation with the investigation.
