Alax Joe Curzon, 41, was charged with surreptitious administering of a certain substance, assault and drug possession in jail.
Curzon’s ex-girlfriend, who he still lived with, said he brought her a cup of coffee in bed on Nov. 23. She told police that it was “very out of character” for Curzon to make the gesture.
Later in the day, the ex-girlfriend said she “crashed” and began having cold sweats in what she thought was a panic attack. Curzon told the woman she looked “cracked out.”
The following morning, the woman went to the doctor where a urine test came back positive for methamphetamine and amphetamines. Curzon then allegedly began sending his ex-girlfriend text messages, including one that said he hadn’t seen any meth that could go that long.
