OK Sheriff lets man charged with domestic violence take silly mugshot photo…

Lambert said she believes it is Harmon’s relationship with Sheriff Randolph that afforded him special treatment when he was booked on the charge.

“Nobody else gets that opportunity,” she said. “It’s just a slap in the face to all the women who are abused daily. It’s a sad crime that happens daily, it was just a disgrace.”

Ringwood Fire Chief Cliff Davidson confirmed Tuesday afternoon that Randolph and Harmon are members of the volunteer Ringwood Fire Department.

When reached for comment about the mug shot, Randolph told the Enid News & Eagle he had “no comment.”

Randolph, a Republican, has been sheriff of Major County since 2007.

That's crazy! Oklahoma sheriff departments are the bastions of honor and integrity in our state's criminal justice system. They never play favorites or bend rules for their buddies, and treat all people fairly! There has to be an explanation for this:

Harmon issued the following statement concerning the mug shot: “Public perception when in Jailbirds is you are automatically guilty. Even though constitutional rights say otherwise. The Major County Sheriff's Office has nothing to do with this other than the arresting agency.

“This is simply the pot being stirred (due) to a divorce that has been going on for over a year now. That Davis law firm won't settle. These are very serious charges, and I take them very seriously. There will be no comment otherwise about the case.”

Well, it looks like Harmon had your typical Oklahoma education.

Anyway, I guess we'll keep our eyes peeled to see how Oklahoma lawmakers respond to this. Over the past couple of years, they've done a pretty good job out embarrassing our sheriffs. I bet they have something very special planned.
