STILLWATER, Okla., (The Oklahoma Post) –
The Oklahoma Post has obtained exclusive audio of a conversation between Darrell Dougherty and Norm McNichol, the chief of staff for Stillwater Mayor Will Joyce. In the recording, Dougherty details his struggle to file a police complaint regarding child abuse allegations against his children. Instead of investigating the claims, the Stillwater Police Department refused to create a report and later targeted Dougherty himself. This pattern of obstruction continued when his business was struck by a vehicle, and police again refused to file an official report.
The case, which remains in court today, contributed to the early resignation of the Stillwater police chief, raising serious concerns about law enforcement accountability in Stillwater. When citizens are denied the right to file complaints, it not only silences victims but also erodes public trust in the justice system. The audio recording reveals a troubling culture of protectionism within the departments.
Big cases in Payne County to handle. Will be providing data dumps throughout March.
