Gov. Stitt Challenges Tulsa Mayor Nichols

By David Arnett

Governor Kevin Stitt Wednesday announced an emergency filing with the Oklahoma Supreme Court to compel the City of Tulsa to enforce state and municipal laws within its jurisdiction.

Recently, Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols entered into a proposed settlement agreement with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. In the settlement agreement, he agreed to bar Tulsa Police from enforcing municipal and state laws against tribal members within city limits. This goes beyond crimes covered under the McGirt decision, including but are not limited to, DUI, reckless driving, child endangerment, and domestic assault.

This makes our state less safe.”

Following the verdict, Johnson surrendered to the government the 190 dogs seized in this case, the largest number ever seized from a single individual in a federal dog fighting case.
