Gov. Stitt Calls For Attorney General To Investigate Complaints Against McCurtain Co. Sheriff

Governor Kevin Stitt is calling for the Oklahoma Attorney General to investigate complaints of misconduct against McCurtain County Kevin Sheriff Clardy.

Governor issued the following letter to AG Gentner Drummond on Friday.

"I hereby request that you, as Attorney General, immediately investigate complaints of official misconduct against Sheriff Clardy. As I understand it, Sheriff Clardy has, at the least, willfully failed or neglected to diligently and faithfully "keep and preserve the peace" of McCurtain County, which is a duty enjoined upon him by 19 O.S. § 516(A).

The people of Oklahoma, and the citizens of McCurtain County, thank you ahead of time for your immediate attention to this matter.
