2016 Tulsa County Sheriff Race

[Vashta Nerada]

Don't expect much and you won't be as disappointed...

They were this way in 1934. 1956. 1965.  1973.  1982.  2000.  And all the years between - not much if anything has changed....I submit nothing has changed.

Just no getting away from it.
From the Mays Rooms Building thread:

What took place next I'll never forget. Although a brief encounter, it was also memorable. Exiting the room sans cash, I arrived at the car to a chorus of cheers. He did it! He did it! As we were leaving, that very woman walked out of the room and down to a parked car across the parking lot. It was only then we realized to our dismay that it was a Tulsa County Sheriff vehicle. She bent over and passed something to the occupant through the driver side window. We never called RIDESHY again!

Who was sheriff when the department was getting its cut?

[AquaMan]

Faulkner comes to mind.

[Townsend]

So I'm guessing Terry Simonson remained in power?

[Vashta Nerada]

Man who "fell down a lot in jail" dumped to avoid medical bills.

While incarcerated, Fulps also picked up charges in two separate cases related to alleged crimes committed inside the jail. He was charged with two counts of assault and battery on a detention officer and malicious injury to property in one case, while in the other he also was charged with assault and battery on a detention officer...an affidavit states that Fulps on April 29 was handcuffed behind his back per policy as he was being led by a detention officer back to his cell in a segregation pod after a shower. Fulps began to struggle with the detention officer and lost his footing, falling backward down a set of stairs, according to the affidavit.

Regalado also noted that prosecutors dropped all charges against him to avoid the county bearing any financial obligations for his medical bills at this point.

Chief Deputy Michelle Robinette addressed that concern by saying there's only so much that can be done when an inmate is refusing treatment and there isn't an X-ray machine present to discover fractures.

Well, there's this thing called a backboard...

Well, looks like the new sheriff is just extending the old one's policies.

The Frontier mops the floor with KOTV.



"Jail surveillance video is not subject to open record requests per Oklahoma State Statutes"

What the Open Records Statutes say have gone back and forth, but it ultimately depends on what the most powerful unions want it to say.

This guy was just in Washington D.C. telling the president how a sheriff's department should be run.

The guy who bought his rank (and then the election) is the model cop.
