Okay, Okla. Police Station Robbed
OKAY, Okla.- Officials in the northeastern Oklahoma town of Okay, which recently fired its two-man police force, say the town’s police station has now been robbed.
City Clerk Sherry Cox says a witness called the Wagoner County Sheriff’s Office about 3 a.m. Monday after seeing someone carrying a shotgun and a bag out of the station.
Officials say about $1,200 in confiscated money, a new laptop computer and a radio are also missing.
The town’s Board of Trustees fired Police Chief Ron Lee and reserve officer Matthew Pruegert Dec. 4.
Pruegert was arrested a day earlier for driving while intoxicated while on duty and Lee was convicted in September on a misdemeanor count of neglecting his duty.
The town of about 600 is seven miles north of Muskogee.
