A new feature….

April 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Since this knob resigned after accusations he ran a sex-slave operation in his Custer Co. jail, I’ve decided to launch a feature. If you click the link, you’ll see one of Oklahoma’s very own Andy Griffiths likes to wear a big ol’ hat.

Back in the day at The Oklahoman, I once did some checking into the state’s sheriffs association. We’d heard some accusations, can’t remember now what it was, and so I tried to do some checking, which is fairly difficult given that it’s not a public body.

That’s when I found the directory of sheriffs in Oklahoma. It is pure gold. The number of people with goofy hats, looking like a crooked Barney Fife is classic. So…I give you the first installment of Okies with Hats.

This proud member of law enforcement comes to you from Haskell Co., which has a population of about 13,000. His name is Manuel Ballard.
