The Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association voted to suspend three McCurtain County officials after the release of a recording allegedly revealing racist comments and threats towards local journalists.
According to a press release, the Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association, voting unanimously and following OSA Bylaws, has suspended Sheriff Kevin Clardy, Investigator Alicia Manning and Trust Administrator Larry Hendrix.
In a Facebookpost, the OSA said they are not a regulatory agency, but a membership organization only.
