Man Accused of Forgery, Possessing Stolen Pickup in Beckham County

The Penny News 1776

Beckham County, OK – A Wewoka man is facing multiple allegations after a stolen pickup truck, suspected illegal drugs, and allegedly fraudulent ownership documents were discovered during a burglary investigation in Beckham County.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed October 21 in Beckham County District Court, Dustin Joyner, 47, is accused of second-degree forgery, receiving or concealing stolen property, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The investigation began October 16 when Beckham County Sheriff's Office investigators were looking into multiple burglaries in the county. During the investigation, Joyner arrived as a passenger in a pickup truck. Investigators said the occupants had come to retrieve another vehicle connected to the ongoing investigation.

When questioned about whether the pickup contained stolen property, Joyner reportedly denied having any and gave investigators permission to search the vehicle.

During the search, investigators discovered a small plastic bag containing a crystal-like substance in the center console. The substance field-tested positive for methamphetamine. A separate bag containing a green leafy substance was found in the back seat and field-tested positive for marijuana. Investigators also recovered several hypodermic needles from the glove box.

According to the affidavit, Joyner acknowledged possessing the marijuana.

A registration check revealed that the pickup, a 2017 Ford King Ranch, belonged to another individual. Further investigation determined the vehicle had been stolen along with its title.

Investigators estimated the pickup's value at more than $10,000.

Inside the vehicle, investigators discovered a title and a bill of sale dated September 28, 2026, identifying Joyner as the purchaser. The document contained Joyner's signature and what appeared to be the registered owner's signature.

However, investigators later determined that the registered owner had never sold the truck to Joyner and had not signed or authorized anyone to sign the bill of sale.

A carbon-copy order book containing a matching bill of sale was also recovered, along with a torn, unsigned version of the document.

According to the affidavit, investigators believe the documents indicate Joyner knowingly participated in preparing or using a fraudulent bill of sale to make the stolen pickup appear legally purchased.

Investigators also cited Joyner's possession of the vehicle and his reference to it as his truck as evidence supporting the allegation that he knowingly possessed or concealed stolen property.

The affidavit lists anticipated charges of second-degree forgery, receiving or concealing stolen property valued between $2,500 and $15,000, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The narrative also references marijuana possession.

On October 19, a Beckham County judge determined probable cause existed for Joyner's arrest and set bond at $15,000.

The affidavit was subsequently filed with the Beckham County District Court on October 21.

The allegations remain unproven, and Joyner is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
