“The Citizens of Johnston County elected me as their Sheriff to protect all citizens. It includes our children. To ensure they have a safe environment at school, we can not and will not allow any individual to be intoxicated at our schools, causing disruption. It is an unfortunate situation; however, as I have stated before, ensuring the safety of our children, faculty, and schools is one of our top priorities. We appreciate the assistance of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol with this investigation. We would also like to thank the faculty of the Mannsville School for reporting this.”
