Defiance From Wagoner Sheriff On Open Records Requests

Silence from Wagoner County

Last week we wrote about a stunning case of corruption and malfeasance where the Wagoner County Sheriff Department was ordered to harass and threaten an officer of the court, a process server attempting to serve court papers upon Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning. In the story we covered omissions in the Open Records releases despite the existence of the records being obvious from the other released records. And yet absolutely nothing was done, we received no additional releases after pointing out they were missing.

Specifically the traffic stop video on the first attempt to serve the court papers is missing, the one where they pulled over the first process server, Christian Fogleman, asking he saw the signs and threatening him with arrest if he returned to serve the court papers. The Wagoner County Sheriff Department vehicles are all equipped with automatic cameras that automatically save the video from 90 seconds before the emergency lights are turned on and continue to save the video until 90 seconds after the lights are switched off. The system then burns the footage to a DVD, all completely automatic. Yet this video was withheld despite, perhaps because of, it depicting harassment and intimidation of an officer of the court.

ACLU Condemns Criminal Fines & Bail Structure For Repeat Criminals

Canadian County Arresting People for "Not Being Able to Afford Bail."

Jailed for not affording bail? 

How about the crimes they committed being the cause of them being jailed?

Or so the ACLU would have us believe from the first sentence in their lawsuit against Canadian County over the cost of criminal bail. Yet they include the fact that there are published bail schedules so a person planning a crime could certainly check the cost of bail should they be arrested in the commission of a crime.

Ludicrous of course, life is unfair, those with the money for bail bonds and attorneys usually get a better outcome if they are a criminal. As happens if they get sick, or want a new car, or are looking for a spouse in life.

Sheriff's Wife Makes False 911 report

  

  

•  Cowardly Wagoner County Commissioner Attempting to Evade Process Server
•  Wagoner County Sheriff Chris Elliot's Wife Judy Assist by Turning in False Police Report
•  Further Evidence that Sheriff Elliot has Close Ties to Alleged Child Molester Commissioner James Hanning
• Missing Dash Cam Footage and Phone Calls Audio Tapes Despite Open Records Request

 We have long told you that Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning has been conspiring with Wagoner County Sheriff Chris Elliot to harass and intimidate a local businessman in an effort to derail an embezzlement lawsuit where Commissioner James Hanning is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from his ex business partner. The Wagoner County Sheriffs office has been used by employees of the department, particularly Commissioner Hanning's own brother who works there and by the wife of Sheriff Chris Elliot. The brother called in the Eufaula police report that ended with the embezzlement victim being arrested after the Eufaula Police called right back to Wagoner County Sheriff department to confirm the “tip”, speaking with the brother that had called in the “tip” a few minutes earlier.

Allegations Surface that State Question Not Pushed by Activists, but by Out of State Liberals to Turn Out the Vote in November 2020

 Thousands of medical marijuana patients are speaking out in opposition to a 'full access' marijuana initiative petition. At least one prominent lawyer has pledged to file a contest with the Oklahoma Supreme Court. But we still don't know who wrote the proposed constitutional amendment that cannabis advocates seem to hate.

  There are a few articles covering the petition. SoonerPolitics.org published a critical review of the proposal that can read it at this link.

Wagoner County Commissioner's Molestation Case Continues

 

Follow up on The Wagoner County Molestation Case

In the last issue we ran the latest on the Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning Child Molestation Investigation that was sent to the OSBI by the District Attorney in response to our story on the accusations. The matter had been added to the County Commissioner's agenda for December 9^th, listed as a tort claim upon the county. We of course encouraged residents to attend the meeting to see what if anything was to be done.

One error in our story, we said that it was Commissioner Hanning's attorney that sent the matter to the Court Clerk asking it to be filed, it was in fact the plaintiff's attorney. Where we got our wires crossed was there was a source claiming that Commissioner Hanning wanted the local D.A. To handle the lawsuit and provide liability coverage should the lawsuit succeed. That might have been true, but it was the plaintiff's attorney that actually sent the notice to the Court Clerk.

And forewarned, the County Commissioners wanted nothing to do with that matter at the December 9^th meeting. You can listen to the proceedings at this link, scroll down to section XII where it says Legal at 9:35:42 and listen to the assembled officials want nothing to do with the issue or even mention its name. The matter was dismissed without action by the County Commissioners as it should have been.

As Accused Molester Flees Second Arrest Warrant

The practice of bail bonds has been under attack for years but the battle has heated up the last few years and the bail bond industry is being gutted while liberal judges give out OR bonds, Own Recognizance bonds, merely the criminal's word that he will show up and face the charges and stand trial.

Some of the arguments make sense, non violent offenders that are zero flight risk ought to be able to get out of jail so they keep their jobs and can support their families while the judicial system grinds through their charges. And for many years we had a state mandated list of those crimes that were not eligible for an OR bond. First the big counties like OKC and Tulsa county simply began ignoring that list of crimes ineligible for OR bond, then the legislators started changing the laws to enshrine the OR bond for some of the worst criminals.

We are not at a slippery slope, we are hurtling down the slope head first.

We Aren't in Kansas Anymore....

So said Dorothy in the 1939 version of the Wizard of Oz.

So say we all after seeing what was in the latest Oklahoma Department of Education Newsletter.

Where to start?

First, STP has always said “Leave the gays alone.” They are just like the rest of us but they also do not need special protection or laws or shielded from those that might criticize their behavior.

Second, if gay straight alliance clubs are allowed then so are straight clubs wishing to fight back against perversion and the erosion of cultural values.

Third, if it is okay to support these liberal agendas then it is also okay to not support or even push back against the agendas if you are an employee or contractor of the school.

Fourth, if gay pride or transgender mental illness messages are protected speech then so is a message that correctly describes both as mental issues.

Fifth, no you damned liberal idiots. There are two sexes, male and female, determined by the number of chromosomes you were born with. The school paper work is not wrong, it doesn't need “corrected”, and employees and students are free to call mental illness what it is and not support delusional idiots. People are born with either a McDugle or a Kannady, that determines what sex they are. And we do not need mentally ill students going into the wrong bathrooms, arrest them if they are caught doing that and prosecute them and anyone that supports their insanity.

Sixth, if a gay person wants to bring a same sex date to the prom and abstains from public displays of affection, more power to them. But educate all students and employees on their First Amendment rights to speak their mind on that or any other issue.

Seventh, mental illness is not a privacy matter that can be withheld from parents. If their child is mentally ill the parents ought to be told immediately and in person or via phone so that the teacher or employee knows the parent got the message. Like it or not, gay and transgender kids are huge risks for suicide. Parents have the right to know what their kid is going through so they are prepared. If the kid is gay, so be it, at least the parents know and are ready to help.  Once they are adults, have fun, we do not care.  But kids ought to not be targeted for perversion.

The responsible parties are listed in that DOE post, I would suggest plenty of emails and phone calls to all three responsible for enacting this Oklahoma DOE directive.

Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning & Brother Aaron Sued for Harassing Tyler Paulsen

This story is dedicated to Sandy Hintz of Wagoner County

Tyler Paulsen is striking back at Wagoner County Commissioner James Hanning and his brother Arron Hanning. Last week saw a lawsuit filed in Wagoner County, alleging the two men conspired with an ex wife/partner to harass and falsely imprison Paulsen to distract him while the James Hanning fought the embezzlement lawsuit.

And what did Commissioner Hanning do? He had his new attorney, the old one that is the current prosecutor for Cherokee County had quit last month, file the claim as a tort claim against Wagoner County. Meaning he expects the Wagoner County D.A. to represent him and the Wagoner County taxpayers to pay out any damages if he loses.

The problem is that both Hannings were acting outside their scope of employment, as a County Commissioner and an employee of the Wagoner County Sheriff Department. Which prevents the County from being responsible for their attorney fees or their defense.

What Must be Done to Solve Crime

Stopping career criminals and lifelong addicts is so simple.

First, you eliminate the practice of concurrent sentences. Look over the amount of time given for offenses and make sure it is reasonable and fits the crime, then ensure that every single day is served in prison with zero exceptions. That will send a notice to criminals, move out of state or stop committing crime because society is now serious about stopping crime.

Second, we have plenty of beds for violent criminals. What is needed is less costly methods of serving sentences, in fact sentences should be served with work sentences so the inmates labor offsets the cost of jail or prison, pays off the fines and fees, pays restitution to the victim, and returns enough revenue to the state to completely fund the criminal justice system. The vast majority of criminals including Earl Ray Talley in the story above do not need to sit in a concrete block cell with bars on the doors and windows.

Reminder, MAPS IV Vote on Tuesday

MAPS IV vote is set for Tuesday. Nearly all of the money is going to “solve” societal issues like crime, mental health, and other things that are better left to churches and families to deal with. Few things survive the government getting involved, most are made worse, and a host of “non profits” and experts grow up around the system to feed off the unfortunate.

Mayor Holt has admitted that the sales tax continuing will not fund 100% of the costs of these projects, it will in fact require higher property taxes and sales taxes to fund the programs.

One of the programs is the Diversion Hub, Sue Ann Arnal‘s non profit for criminals. Free attorneys, free babysitter, free rides to court, no bail bond required. No one to chase after the criminal when they don't show up for court either. No one to hold accountable when they do like Talley and commit crimes while awaiting trial.

Vote no on MAPS IV.

Soft on Crime Agendas Mean Liberal Virtue Signaling and Victims Suffering

Conservatives are always trying to be reasonable. Liberals take advantage of that by pushing soft on crime initiatives like SQ 780 and 788, now we are faced with two more budget breaking citizen petitions; Medicaid expansion and preventing multiple offender criminals from having their sentences upgraded to felonies.

Medicaid expansion can be stopped by forcing changes in the medical care industry, forcing people to have skin in the game, forcing providers to provide up front published pricing in advance, and getting medical dollars out of politics. There is no reason to allow an industry to grow rich by bankrupting those who get sick or injured.

The soft on crime initiatives is also easy to solve. Stop sending people to prison for thirty years after they have been a career criminal for the previous fifteen years. Do that by dealing with criminals that commit a second offense quickly, surely, and inexpensively to the state and society. Cutting criminals slack after the first offense does not work. The only ones that benefits are those that make money off the criminal justice system.

Another Mass Parolee Sent Back to Incarceration

 Oh the soft hearted thought that criminals just need love and understanding. Meanwhile, less than two weeks after their release, some of the 400 mass release offenders are right back in county jail and headed for the penitentiary.

Meet Austin Jones. DOB, December of 1993. By the time he was 17 Jones was charged with drug possession with intention to distribute and the possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The public defender wanted to charge Jones as a child but the prosecution won on that fight and Jones was charged as an adult. Jones pleads guilty as a youthful offender and gets five and seven years on the two counts. But the juvenile system has him and a few years later his case is dismissed, Jones had been given another chance.

Sheriff Elliot: "The Woman-Beater of Wagoner County"

  

Inmate Dragged by her Hair and Throat, Head Slammed into Jail Bars By a Cowardly County Sheriff, Allegations Claim.

 Security Tape “Disappears” But We Have a Copy. 

Wagoner County Sheriff Chris Elliot seems to be a woman beater among other things. Elliot first came to our attention due to his support for fellow Wagoner County dirt bag Rep. Kevin McDugle and we had to think, what kind of “man” would support a known pervert like that? Elliot punished one candidate that was challenging McDugle, firing him in mid campaign for no reason, and slandering him with other departments in the area in an effort to prevent the candidate from finding a job to feed his family.
