Jason Dean Milsaps, aged 40 and residing in Whittier, finds himself entangled in a web of charges following a meticulous home check conducted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. This legal entanglement includes three felony counts related to the possession with intent to sell a Schedule II controlled substance, two felonies tied to possessing firearms as a felon, and additional charges, such as maintaining a space for controlled substance distribution.
Probation and parole sought assistance from the sheriff’s office for a home check at Milsaps’ residence on February 17, as reported on the JCSO’s Facebook page. The subsequent search of Milsaps’ residence, a 5th wheel camper, uncovered a concerning array of substances and weaponry. Among the discovered items were methamphetamine, fentanyl, and methadone, leading to charges of possessing a Schedule II controlled substance. Additionally, THC gummies were found, resulting in a felony Schedule VI marijuana-related charge.
Further complicating Milsaps’ legal situation, he was alleged to be in possession of two 8 mg buprenorphine tablets, resulting in a simple possession charge for a Schedule III substance. The presence of digital scales and plastic baggies contributed to additional paraphernalia charges.
It’s noteworthy that Milsaps, already serving a 24-month probation sentence for previous charges related to possession of stolen goods and methamphetamine, faced probation revocation on February 20. This was prompted by his failure to complete mandated treatment programs, having been dismissed twice, and testing positive for amphetamines and methamphetamine multiple times, including shortly after his guilty plea in April 2023.
Currently detained at the Jackson County Detention Center under a $130,000 secured bond, Milsaps awaits a court date to address his recent charges. The legal saga surrounding Milsaps underscores the complexities of managing probation, substance abuse issues, and the legal consequences that unfold when these conditions are not met.
