By Patti Weaver
Journal Correspondent
An ex-convict with a long
criminal record -- who was
arrested at a Cushing motel
-- was arraigned Friday
on a charge of punching
a Payne County jailer
after appearing in court on
a drug charge.
Terry Wayne Badgewell,
45, of Dewar, who is cur-
rntly on probation for
anslaughter, aggravated
asault and battery, and
assault and battery on a
police officer, was given
a court-appointed attorney
Friday.
If convicted of assault
and battery on a Payne
County jailer on June 20,
BadgeweU -- who is being
held on $100,000 bail and
also for Oklahoma County
authorfies -- could be given
a life prison term, court
records show.
Payne County Jail
Administrator Captain
Reese Lane told the Jour-
nal Monday that his staff
had just taken Badgewell
to court to have his bail set
on his drug charge follow-
ing his arrest in Cushing,
when the incident occurred
last week.
"He just blindsided my
officer. We had plenty
of help. He was quickly
restrained," following the
June 20 incident that hap-
pened as Badgewell was
passing through a door after
Members of Class I visited the Cushing Community Center. Standing and listening about

While Payne County
has some wonderful com-
munity-based leadership
programs, PCC is differ-
ent because it stresses that
city boundary lines don't
necessarily matter when
it comes to growing our
communities. A strong
emphasis is also placed on
"making connections" with
individuals from all com-
munities in our county.
Over the course of the
eight-month program,
Class 2 participants will
visit each of the six com-
munities in Payne County
at least once. One of our
goals is to surprise the
include touring a petro-
leum storage tank farm in
Cushing, meeting a pair of
young entrepreneurs (ages
11 and 13) from Glencoe,
viewing eagles at the Iowa
Tribe's eagle sanctuary in
Perkins, and touring the
Food and Ag Products
Center at OSU.
PCC Class 2 will meet
on the second Wednesday
of the month from 12pm
to 5pm, September 2011
through April 2012. An
additional orientation
session will take place
on the first Wednesday of
September, which is Sep-
tember 7. Lunch will be
provided at each session.
Tuition for the program is
$150 per person, although
a few scholarships will be
available.
If you are interested
in learning about all of
Payne County and you
believe that community
issues are best tackled by
working together, then you
are a perfect candidate for
Payne County Connections.
Please consider submitting
your application 'today. If

you may call the Extension
office at 405-747-8320.

Badgewell -- whose name
is spelled as Badgwell on
some court documents --
had been arrested on June
17 at 10:42 p.m. at the Lazy
L Motel in Cushing where
he was staying, Cushing
Police Officer Matthew
Piatt wrote in an affidavit.
The officer had been
advised that Badgewell
had an outstanding arrest
warrant, from Oklahoma
County and was staying at
the Cushing motel on Main
Street, the affidavit said.
"Badgewell was posi-
tively identified by his
photo from the Department
of Corrections website and
taken into custody without
incident," the affidavit
said.
A clear ziplock baggy
containing a substance
which tested positive for
• methamphetamine was
found by a Cushing com-
munications officer in
Badgewell
Badgewell's property, the
affidavit alleged.
A bench warrant had
been issued for BadgeweU's
arrest in February when he
failed to appear in Okla-
homa County District Court
for a probation violation
hearing on a second-degree
burglary charge -- for which
he had received 10 years of
probation except 60 days
in jail.
BadgeweU is currently
on probation for first-
degree manslaughter in
2004, assault and battery
on a police officer in 2004,
and aggravated assault and
battery in 2005, all in Tulsa
County, state Department of
Corrections records show.
He was paroled from
prison in 2003 after serving
about four years for posses-
sion of a stolen vehicle in
1995 in Okmulgee County,
where he also served was
convicted of running a
roadblock, DOC records
show.
He also has a 1997 con-
viction for auto theft and
second-degree burglary
in Okmulgee County for
which he received two
