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.

  Nigel O'Mally has been a market analyst for the medical marijuana program. He wrote this unflattering early review.

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.

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.
