JUSTICE SERVED
A Child predator is facing multiple 20-year sentences after he was found guilty last month of
child sexual abuse.
According to a press release by Pottawatomie
County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO), following an investigation by PCSO, Clayderyl Farrell has been
found guilty in connection with the sexual abuse
of multiple children.
On June 26, 2025, deputies responded to a report involving juvenile victims.
Investigators collaborated with the Child Advocacy Center of Central Oklahoma to conduct forensic interviews, arrange medical examinations, and execute
search warrants, resulting in Farrell’s arrest on multiple felony charges, including
forcible sodomy and lewd acts involving minors.
Throughout the investigation, the Victim Advocate provided close support and
resources to the children and their families during this challenging time.
On March 25, a jury found Farrell guilty and recommended multiple 20-year sentences, along with a life
sentence for his offenses.
These cases are among the most complex our investigators encounter, but safeguarding children in our community remains a paramount concern. The unwavering
dedication of deputies, detectives, the PSCO Victim Advocate, and partner agencies ensured accountability in
this case.
If you suspect abuse or exploitation, please report it.
Your call could potentially protect a child.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE
SPOTLIGHT
As many of you already know, in December of
2023 the Sheriff’s Office partnered with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. Working
with our County Commissioners, I was then able
to hire an Environmental Deputy Sheriff and began using County Inmate Trustees to clean up the
State Highways here in Johnston County.
This program has been widely successful as
many citizens continue to share their thanks with me, Deputy Steve Boman and
the trustees themselves. Several citizens have stopped by thanking them and
even brought them food and drinks in appreciation. These crews have picked up
TONS of garbage from the roadside, weed eating, trimming trees, etc.
As I have traveled through the County the past couple of days, I couldn’t
help noticed how much of an impact this program has produced. With Spring
in full swing and the green grass coming on, the roadways look amazing. I am
extremely proud of Deputy Boman and our Trustees who continue working to
make Johnston County a beautiful place to live and visit.
We have also used this crew on some our County Roads, such as Bullard
Chapel Rd, which leads to the Blue River Fishing and Hunting area. The difference is extremely noticeable and the residents along the roadways have voiced
their appreciation!
However, these efforts are continuous, as some people keep throwing garbage out while traveling our roads. So, with that said here’s a friendly reminder,
littering is still against the law. So as the old saying goes, “KEEP OUR LAND
GRAND,” “Don’t Litter.”
As you can see, we here at the
Johnston County Sheriff’s Office
continue to try and keep our County cleaned up, in more ways than
one!!!
Have a Blessed Day!

SEMINOLE RESIDENT SENTENCED
FOR FEDERAL FIREARM CRIME
Byron Keith Spencer, 54, of Seminole, was sentenced
to 92 months in prison for one count of Possession of
Stolen Firearm.
The charges arose from an investigation by the Wewoka Police Department, the District 22 Drug and Violent
Crime Task Force, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives.
On June 9, 2025, Spencer pleaded guilty to the charge
in federal district court. According to investigators, on May 9, 2023, law enforcement
conducting a traffic stop in Wewoka discovered Spencer in possession of a Walther
PK380 .380 handgun previously reported as stolen. At the time of the offense, Spencer knew or had reasonable cause to believe the firearm had been stolen.
Spencer will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.

GOING, GOING, GONE
A Hughes County man has been found guilty
following jury trial in Hughes County violent assault case.
According to District Attorney Erik Johnson,
Joshua Draper, 42, of Holdenville, was found
guilty March 26 following a jury trial. Draper was
convicted on multiple charges stemming from violent incidents that occurred on August 3, 2025.
The jury recommended the following sentences:
Count 1: Assault and Battery with a Deadly Weapon (Felony)- 30 years
Count 2: Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (Felony)- 30 years
Count 3: Domestic Abuse – Assault and Battery (Misdemeanor)- 1 year
The sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 5, 2026, when Associate District Judge Trisha Smith will issue the final sentence based on the jury’s recommendation and the pre-sentence investigation conducted by the Department of
Corrections.
On August 3, 2025, Draper assaulted one of the victims by punching the
victim multiple times in the face and body. Later that day, Draper attacked a
second victim, using a tire iron and a knife to inflict serious bodily injury. Following
the attacks, Draper fled the scene but was apprehended the next day through
a coordinated effort by the Holdenville Police Department, the Hughes County
Sheriff’s Office, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, and the District 22 Drug
and Violent Crimes Task Force.
Draper has a history of prior felony convictions, which contributed to the severity of the charges and the recommended sentences. GALE

THAT'S METHED UP!
On Sunday morning, February
1st, 2026, at approximately 3:42
a.m., deputies with the Iredell
County, North Carolina, Sheriff’s
Office responded to a commercial burglar alarm at a business
located on Sharon School Road.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a ladder positioned at the rear of
the building, fresh footprints in the snow, and a broken window. The
business owner was contacted and responded to the scene. Deputies
discovered a damaged safe inside the business and a missing money
box containing approximately $1,800 in cash. The owner also reported
that several hundred dollars’ worth of merchandise had been stolen.
Sergeant N. Hodges and his canine partner Levi, arrived on scene to
assist. Deputies and Canine Levi followed the suspect’s track behind
the business toward the area of Goble Road. During the track, deputies located the missing money box, which had been emptied, along
with additional evidence believed to have been dropped by the suspect. The track continued to Goble Road, where deputies determined
the suspect appeared to have been picked up by a vehicle.
Due to limited vehicle traffic in the area during the winter storm, deputies were able to follow the vehicle tracks a short distance to a nearby
neighborhood. The tracks ended at a residence on Arborgate Loop.
At the residence, deputies located a vehicle in the driveway that appeared to have been recently driven. Deputies also observed shoe
prints consistent with those found at the crime scene leading from
the vehicle into the residence. Deputies made contact with the occupants, identified as Jana Lynn Parsons and Arthur Lee Oxendale. Both
individuals denied knowledge of the break-in and were uncooperative
with deputies.
Based on evidence leading deputies to the residence, detectives with the Criminal Investigations
Division responded. Detectives obtained and executed a search warrant at the home, resulting in the
recovery of some of the stolen property.
Following the investigation, detectives determined Arthur Lee Oxendale, 53, had broken into the
business and stolen cash and merchandise. Investigators also determined Jana Lynn Parsons, 51,
assisted Oxendale by picking him up in her vehicle and transporting him back to her residence. Arrest warrants were obtained for both individuals, and they were taken into custody and transported
to the Iredell County Detention Center.
After his arrest, Oxendale was also found to be in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
Arthur Lee Oxendale, 53, was charged with Felony Breaking and Entering, Felony Larceny after B&E,
Felony Safecracking, Felony Possession of Methamphetamine, and Misdemeanor Possess Drug
Paraphernalia. Arthur Oxendale is currently being held under No Bond was issued.
Jana Lynn Parsons, 51, was charged with Felony Conspiracy and was issued a $10,000 bond. TYLER
