Rogers County Craziness
There appears to be an outbreak of craziness taking place in Rogers County.
Unfortunately it appears to be affecting those in or close to the legal system.
Case in point, Christie Miller’s children have been in foster care since December of last year. She’s still trying to get them back and the system seems intent on denying a ‘good mother’ her parental rights. The DHS claims that she had deprived her children and DHS took them away. While the children were in DHS custody and living in a foster home one of the children was mauled by a dog and required twenty-five stitches. If the children have been deprived, it’s while in DHS custody. Unless DHS considers a child’s face being ripped to pieces by a dog as a normal and desirable state of affairs. To make matters worse DHS claims one of the children had a “healing fracture of the right tibia”. Doctors at Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa say there is no sign of the child ever having a fractured tibia. So who is lying, DHS case workers or medical professionals?

Fawn Marie Kendall has also learned a valuable lesson is just how crazy the Rogers County justice system can be. Kendall made the mistake of reporting that she suspected that her now former boy friend was operating a meth lab in the home they shared. She’s now facing 10 years in prison and a $4,500 fine for her efforts. And yes, Kendall pleaded guilty. Odds are she figured the plea deal was better than the crap shoot that is Rogers County justice. Had she not taken the deal she likely would have been convicted and received a much longer sentence. This shameful example of justice run amok sends the message that if you suspect or are aware of a meth lab operating in Rogers County, Oklahoma you had better keep your mouth shut, get out of the area and don’t ask law enforcement to do anything about it, otherwise you will end up in prison yourself.

Then there is the story of Ernest Eugene Haynes III, the son of Rogers County District Attorney Gene Haynes. The younger Haynes has been jailed on charges of eluding officers, running a roadblock, driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, speeding, taxes due state, and driving under suspension. The charges of eluding, running a roadblock and DUI are all felonies, while the remaining charges are misdemeanors. The younger Haynes was arrested and charged with DUI last year, received a one year deferred sentence and probation, 20 hours of community service, and was ordered to attend DUI school.

So, how about a show of hands?
Who actually believes that the DA’s son will receive as harsh a treatment at the hands of the Rogers County justice system as did the two unfortunate women mentioned above?
I was arrested in 2008 during a sting operation in rogers county. I will first tell you my charges and then my story (cause everyone has one) I was charged with distribution of a controlled substance felony and a DUI misd. A little bit about what happpened: I was 22 at the time with a 2.5 yr old son and going through a nasty divorce. I was hooked up by a mutual friend with a guy in rogers county I dated him for a short while before he convinced me to sell 3 of his .5 mg xanax for him to a “friend” (why couldnt he sell them hiself? right thats what I asked… reasoning: he owed the guy money and didnt want him to know they were his… Im gullable and too trusting I know )spite my better judgement I did him the favor stupid I know… in the end I sold pills. rather it was 3 pills worth 6$ or not I still committed the crime. I was not arrested at the time this occured because it was a sting operation. If you cant tell yet the guy I sold them to was a Oklahoma Narcotics Bureau Agent. well about a week later I went to visit the guy i was dating (unaware at this point that he had set me up) we went to the bar together as we had done before … he lived about2 blocks from the bar and he didnt drink so I always just stayed at his house and he drove us. well this particular night he started a fight and left me at the bar (another bad decision made by me) I chose to drive to his house and once I reached his house the cope were there already… since I had never been in trouble before I believe this was all a part of the plan to get me in the rogers county system so that the following week it would be easier to find me when their sting operation was over. So a week after I get the DUI and make the decision to no longer speak to that guy and to keep my life in order as crazy as it was with the divorce and child and now a dui and much more to pay for. one week later is when the sting operation went down and they made their arrests… so for the 3 pills they had a swat team of 15 bust into my home around 7 am february of 2008 and my bail was set for 25,000$ I bailed myself out for 2500and hired an attorney to handle both cases… mind you I had never been in any kind of trouble before in my life… after a year and a half of fighting with the da about me doing jailtime i had to hire a different attorney that could get better results (my mistake was i hired a tulsa county attorney and should have hired someone in rogers county cause their all working together… duh!) so about 6 months more of court (total of 2 years and 3 months of ongoing court) there was no jury trial we went with a blind plea from the judge because the DA wouldnt settle for anything less than 6 months of county jail time and I ended up with 5 years of supervised probation 120 hrs community service for the pills an 4,000$ in fines and for the dui I got the same thing plus an additional 60 hours of comm service totaling 180 hours community service and a 1000 fine so 5000 more dollars. So add the two years without any trouble to the 5 years of probation thatss 7 years that I have a felony on my record, since the charge, altho it wasn’t a conviction, I haven’t been able to get a descent job and lets top it off 7,000$ in attorney fees over the two years… Well well now I’m going to make my head spin and tell you that this memorial day weekend on friday me and my boyfriend of some time now went to a mutual friends for a cookout and had a couple of drinks. Well on our way back home he got pulled over and he got a dui… the Tulsa county cops pulled up my record and saw the things from rogers county and automatically pegged me as a drug dealer and a ‘bad person’ and arrested me for public intox… yes as a passenger in the vehicle. didnt even give me a breatholizer or field sobriety test just said i was drunk and arrested me. as im sure you can guess that this was in violation of my probation so I’ve been told now that a warrant will be issued for my arrest once again in rogers county for violation of probation and once I bail myself out it is like im starting all over again I have to hire an attorney to work a new deal with the da that fought for two years to put me in jail… Im a full time mother, I work, and I go to college full time… its great to see that justice is on our side when it really counts.. I mean what would the world do with someone like me on the streets I should be locked up for my lifetime of screw-ups! Unfortunately I dont have another 1500 setting around to pay the same attorney that finished off my case… wasnt he nice to give me a discount this time!
