Outcome of Former Ottawa County Sheriff Floyd Case Mike: Welcome back everyone Mike: On our December 19th 2020 episode we reported former Ottawa County Sheriff Jeremy Floyd was indicted by a Grand Jury in Oklahoma city on December 17th with the felony charge of embezzlement for misusing a county credit card to the total of $1,132.78 and the felony charge of lying about his criminal history on the 2020 Declaration of Candidacy form he filed for re-election. After being bonded out of Ottawa county jail for $50,000, a change of venue to Ottawa county was filed. Since that time Mr. Floyd and his lawyer Clint Ward of Vinita have reported to the court 6 times. According to the court records obtained by The Community Focus Update, Mr. Floyds visit to the court on June 22nd resulted in the inability to come to a plea agreement and the date of September 27th was scheduled to determine the trial date. Last Monday Mr. Floyd and his lawyer appeared in court and pleaded guilty of both counts for a lesser charge.

-Graphic Mike: In the felony charge of embezzlement for misusing a county credit card to the total of $1,132.78, Mr. Floyd will be required to pay restitution of the entire balance directly to the state attorney general's office which will then be forwarded to the Ottawa Board of County Commissioners. In the felony charge of lying about his criminal history on the 2020 Declaration of Candidacy form he filed for re-election Mr. Floyd will surrender his CLEET certification and will not be allowed to work in Law enforcement in the state of Oklahoma. While both counts were downgraded to misdemeanors. Mr. Floyd was put on probation for one year and will check in with the Oklahoma Attorney General's office by the first of each month and pay $40 for each month with a total of $480.

Commentary Former Ottawa County Sheriff Floyd Case

Upper Third: Commentary

Mike: Since our first episode of the Community Focus Update we have been following Mr. Floyd. At first I was excited to see the then Sheriff working to make improvements to the county jail, establish a vehicle program, get uniforms for officers, and grants to help pay for other costs. Mr. Floyd had so much promise. Sadly over time the luster of the sheriff's badge became tarnished by not communicating weekly with the Board of County Commissioners, Embezzling county funds, and lying on election documents. While Mr. Floyd was not convicted of a felony he will be continually regarded as a crook and a liar. Hopefully after admitting his mistake in court he’ll take that next step and apologize directly to the people he swore to serve and protect. He can do this a couple of ways 1. By delivering his apology at the next Board of County Commissioners or 2. By holding a press conference. After that he needs to volunteer with a local service organization like the Salvation Army. Once these two things happen hopefully he can find redemption in this community.

Mike: Well that is it for our program please like and share this video and if you have yet, to become our friend on facebook please do so. We’ll see you next week. We’ll end today’s program with a sampling of “Until Now” , the band that performed at Rocket park.
