Brandon Scott Ivers, 31, who faces multiple charges in Kay and Osage Counties, missed two court dates this week.

Several cases were involved in a missed hearing in Kay County on Tuesday. Bench warrants were issued in six cases and bond was set at $2.5 million in two cases. In four other cases, bond was set at $100,000 each.

Oral motions by attorneys Rick Johnson and Grace Yates to withdraw from the cases were taken under advisement.

One hearing on Tuesday was a preliminary hearing on two charges of conspiracy to traffic controlled dangerous substance (methamphetamine) after two or more felony convictions; trafficking in illegal drugs (methamphetamine) after two or more felony convictions, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony after two or more felony convictions, unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute after two or more felony convictions, and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

The charges in this case were filed in July 2015.

Another hearing he missed on Tuesday was for sentencing on charges in a case filed in March 2015. Those charges included trafficking in illegal drugs (methamphetamine) after two or more prior felony convictions; unlawful possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute after two or more felony convictions; conspiracy to deliver controlled dangerous substances after two or more felony convictions, and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Ivers has at least 10 felony charges posted on the Kay County District Courty, as well as numerous protective orders and traffic offenses.

Ivers also missed a hearing at 3 p.m. Wednesday in Osage County. The bondswoman withdrew his previous bond and a bench warrant was issued as well as a new bond for $10 million, according to the Osage County District Court.

The cases filed against him in Osage County are drug charges and traffic offenses. He was charged with cultivation of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of a controlled dangerous substance, unlawful use of a police radio and knowingly concealing stolen property.
