An outstanding warrant for the arrest of an Elk City man was issued recently after being charged of distributing methamphetamine near a school.
According to a probable cause affidavit, 36-year-old Sylvester Medina III was charged in Custer County late last month when according to investigators Medina allegedly sold 10.5 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant at a residence located near the Clinton High School.
