By Russell Hixson Stillwater NewsPress

STILLWATER, Okla. — A doll, two magazines and $150. A knife-wielding Drumright man is accused of stealing these items from a Stillwater adult novelty store last week.

Payne County deputies arrested Jessie Allen Smith after a high-speed chase that ended in the suspect crashing his truck and getting Tasered.

Smith, 27, is charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, third offense and attempting to elude officers.

Stillwater Police Capt. Randy Dickerson said the Perkins Road store was robbed by a suspect with a knife sometime before midnight Thursday. The man took a blowup doll, two magazines and $150.

Payne County deputies spotted the green pickup, identified by witnesses as leaving the scene of the robbery, on Third Street. A pursuit started when the suspect wouldn’t pull over.

The suspect ran two stop signs, swerved to knock traffic cones toward squad cars and nearly struck a squad car when the pickup became airborne after hitting a dip in the road, records show. The chase ended at 12th Street and Jardot when the suspect’s pickup struck a telephone pole and a tree on a dead-end road.

The suspect climbed from the car. He ran from deputies who used a Taser to stop him. The suspect, records show, was Tasered a second time when he refused to show his hands. Officers recovered a knife from the truck.

Smith is due in court at 1:45 p.m. Wednesday for arraignment.

    “I love the high energy stuff,” he said. “Even though it’s country, being able to rock it up, distorted guitars and just seeing the crowd, feeding off of that.”
