A murder plot discussed on tape implicating a sheriff in southeastern Oklahoma triggers a CBS News investigation, uncovering a pattern of abuses that have gone largely unchecked for years. It's a cautionary tale that reveals an unsettling reality for small towns across America: when sheriffs abuse their power, people can die and there's little to hold them accountable.

My husband was a deputy for the McCurtain County Sheriff’s Department in 2020/2021 and it didn’t take him long to realize how corrupt it was and when they tried pressuring him to do certain things, he quit. Best decision ever. This makes me sick. There’s too many bad and not enough of the good to boot them out.

It’s crazy seeing this. I started my law enforcement career working at the McCurtain County Jail before getting on as a reserve deputy with them and eventually ending up at the Idabel Police Department. I worked with Clardy before he was Sheriff. I always liked him and never would have expected seeing this from him. I ended up moving out of Southeast Oklahoma and continuing my law enforcement career but I have to say, some of the craziest “good ole boy” stuff I ever witnessed were in that county. It’s most of the reason I decided to get out of that profession because there’s too much cover up. McCurtain County law enforcement are a different breed and not in a good way. I’m ashamed to admit I was affiliated with them.

Just a quick update to save you the search: Kevin Clardy was defeated for re-election in a three way race as of June 19th. He received 399 Votes for 18% of the vote and finished third.

The Sheriff is not a prosecutor. He or she has very limited power legally. The most powerful advantage is there is no city or county official in their jurisdiction that can terminate them.
