DOG GONE IT
A Tecumseh woman is behind bars in the Pottawatomie County Safety Center after she allegedly
shot her neighbor over a dog she claimed was hers.
According to Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office, on October 8, deputies were dispatched to an
address on Morvin Road for a shooting. When they
arrived, they located a male with a single gunshot
wound. The male was able to identify his shooter as
Brandy Caldwell.
Caldwell was believed to possibly still be inside her residence, so Pott County deputies mutually aided Shawnee Police Department SWAT Team. After clearing that residence and not locating the suspect, a search of the area began.
Reports state Caldwell got into an argument with her neighbor about the ownership
of a dog. The victim told investigators he tried to get back into his house when Caldwell allegedly shot him.
The Fugitive Task Force was able to eventually make contact with Caldwell during
a traffic stop and she was taken into custody.
Caldwell was booked into the Safety Center for active Pottawatomie County warrants and has additional charges of Assault and Battery with a Deadly weapon, felon
in possession of a firearm after former conviction.
Bond for Caldwell was set at $20,000 and she is schedule to next appear in court
on November 14.

A 34-year-old Shawnee woman was put behind
bars after she allegedly led police on a high-speed
pursuit on October 3.
The pursuit ended in a crash with another vehicle, and a passenger is in critical condition.
According to reports, Shawnee police officers tried to stop the vehicle Cory
Joyce Burns was driving. The woman had several felony warrants for her arrest.
This would be the second pursuit she was involved in in two days. Officers had
tried to stop a motorcycle she was riding the night before, but she left the scene
before being arrested.
When officers tried to stop the vehicle she was driving, she sped up going
down Harrison Street. The pursuit came to a quick end with Burns crashing
into another vehicle near the onramp on I-40. Reports state that the crash was
“violent.”
Burns, her passenger, and the driver of the other vehicle were all transported
to OU Hospital. Burns’s passenger was listed in critical condition after the crash.
The other driver was stable.
Even though Burns wasn’t supposed to leave the hospital, she left after being
there for nearly a week. She was quickly apprehended, however, when Shawnee
officers, along with the Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office and Maud Police
Department, located her in Maud.
Officers arrested her for felony warrants out of Seminole County and Pottawatomie County.
Burns is being charged with aggravated attempt to elude a police officer and
driving with license canceled/suspended/revoked. Her bond was set at $50,000,
and she is scheduled to appear in court on December 5, 2023.

AROUND THE NATION
Holy guacamole!
A Richmond, Indiana, woman attempted to prevent police officers from searching her for drugs by faking a heart
attack, court documents reveal. The effort ended up being
in vain as jail staff later found an “avocado-size” sandwich
bag concealed in her privates that contained meth, fentanyl and crack cocaine.
Amanda Smith, 41, was arrested and charged with
dealing methamphetamine, a Level 2 felony; dealing in a
narcotic drug, a Level 2 felony; dealing in cocaine, a Level 3 felony, and dealing in a controlled
substance, a Level 6 felony.
This is the second time this summer Smith has been charged with multiple felony counts.
In early July, police accused Smith of luring a woman to a Richmond home under the guise
of selling her a ring. Instead, Smith allegedly assaulted the woman, punching her in the face
multiple times before stealing her wallet and phone.
Smith was arrested for the alleged assault and charged with robbery resulting in bodily
injury, a Level 3 felony, and criminal confinement, a Level 3 felony. She did not stay in jail long,
however, posting two separate cash bonds in July in order to be released from Wayne County
Jail — a move that would be repeated with her most recent charges.
Smith’s latest encounter with law enforcement occurred in September after a Wayne County
Sheriff’s deputy noted Smith interacting with known drug users at a Philipp 66 gas station in
Richmond. Being familiar with Smith, the deputy followed the woman’s vehicle and initiated a
traffic stop after Smith failed to use a turn signal and drove down the center of the road.
According to the deputy’s report, Smith would end up faking a heart attack after a K9 alerted
police to the presence of drugs. Smith reportedly began yelling and screaming that she was
having a heart attack but refused to let Richmond EMS hook her to monitors or give her a
medical evaluation.
After being taken to the hospital, Smith refused to change out of her clothes and insisted
on using the bathroom. Police believed Smith was concealing drugs and were aware that she
was likely trying to prevent herself from being searched while trying to find ways to dispose of
the hidden drugs.
Smith eventually agreed to change in the presence of nurses and admitted to having fentanyl hidden in her underwear. While changing, however, nurses spotted what appeared to be a
plastic sandwich bag concealed within her privates, documents detail.
According to the court documents, Smith continued to deny there was anything hidden
inside her even after the jail performed a body scan that showed an “abnormality in her pelvic
area.”
Eventually, Smith admitted to concealing drugs inside her privates and removed an “avocado-size plastic sandwich bag” from inside her, according to the documents.
Police ended up testing the contents of the bag and said 38.9 grams of meth, 10.4 grams
of crack cocaine and 9.2 grams of fentanyl — along with an untested fine white powder — had
been separately wrapped and shoved inside the plastic bag.
A search of Smith’s vehicle unveiled even more pills and substances including Gabapentin,
Naloxone and buprenorphine, court documents said. A ledger was also found in the vehicle
that contained names, weights, dollar amounts and drug types.
Police also found $5,845 in cash in Smith’s wallet and said four cell phones were seized
from the vehicle as evidence. According to the deputy’s report, three of the cell phones kept
ringing throughout the course of the investigation with calls coming in from known drug users.
Despite being charged with six felony counts over the last three months, Smith once again
posted bail after a brief stay at Wayne County Jail. Court records show Smith paid a $4,500
bond the day after her arrest (a $45,000 surety bond). In July, Smith paid two separate cash
bonds totaling $3,500 to avoid jail.

FIELDS OF GREEN
Two men were arrested and hundreds of marijuana plants were seized in a drug bust carried
out by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN)
on October 3.
According to reports, OBN agents seized 566
plants, four firearms, and 896 pounds of processed marijuana during the bust.
The two men arrested during this bust were
identified as Jossue Madrigal and Salvador Madrigal.
The bust was part of an investigation being
conducted into businesses growing and selling
weed without an active registration. The arrest
of the men happened just two weeks after OBN
agents conducted a search warrant at another
“business” in Stratford. During this raid, agents
seized one gun and 15,400 marijuana plants.
They arrested Mei Zhen Xu, who is being charged
with trafficking marijuana. His bond was set at $5,000, and he is scheduled to
appear in court on January 12, 2024.
Jossue and Salvador Madrigal are being charged with trafficking in illegal drugs
and the manufacture of a controlled dangerous substance/possession of material with intent to manufacture. Bond information was unavailable at the time
of publication. They are scheduled to appear in court on November 21, 2023.

Overly passionate pastor
On October 2, Tulsa Police Officers arrested
a former pastor from a local church after an investigation revealed three years of inappropriate
behavior with a young girl starting when she was
15 years old.
The victim reported in May 2023 that the suspect, identified as Matthew Martinez, sexually
abused her, including kissing and groping her while threatening her not to tell
anyone.
Detectives learned Martinez, an associate pastor at the church, started texting the victim as a tutor in Fall 2020 before the messaging became more personal and the in-person contact became more physical – touching her hands
and feet at first before putting his hand up her skirt multiple times and touching her chest. The victim said Martinez would make her touch him as well.
In September, Detectives recovered thousands of text messages between
Martinez and the victim which included Martinez texting her “sexual hypotheticals” and talking about kissing her.
A warrant was issued for Martinez on September 28 and he was arrested
shortly after. He’s been charged with two counts of Sexual Battery.
This is an arrest, not a conviction. FAWN

NO WHERE TO HIDE
Twenty-year-old Devon Christopher Yahola
was jailed on October 12 for allegedly assaulting an elderly man in his home.
According to the police report, a Seminole police officer was dispatched to the 800 block of
Jefferson to investigate someone assaulting an elderly man. When he arrived
at the location, another officer was helping the victim to his feet. That officer
said the suspect, identified as Yahola, left the area headed west on Russell.
The deputy found the suspect walking near Timmons and Strother. When
Yahola saw the officer, he took off running and jumped over a fence. He then
broke into a residence in the 900 block of Timmons through the back door.
The deputy, along with other officers, went into the residence and found
Yahola hiding in a closet. The residence owner said she didn’t know Yahola
was inside her home. She wanted to press charges.
Officers placed Yahola under arrest and transported him to jail.
Yahola is being charged with burglary in the first degree and aggravated
assault and battery. He was scheduled to appear in court on November 2,
2023. Bond information was unavailable at the time of publication. TAFFNEY

More than 100,000 children and
youth in the U.S. foster care system
are awaiting permanent families.
National Adoption Month is a time
to raise awareness about the adoption of children and youth from foster care.
The Children’s Bureau in partnership with AdoptUSKids and Child
Welfare Information Gateway sponsors the initiative each November as a way to focus public attention on the
urgent need for adoptive families for children and youth waiting in foster
care for a permanent family. This year’s focus, “Partnering for Permanency,” builds on the social media theme from last year. A special web page
on Information Gateway’s website helps child welfare professionals, prospective adoptive parents, and youth partner for permanency. The website
contains resources, stories, and videos on topics such as getting started
with social media, how to build a recruitment campaign, and how social
media impacts child welfare and adoption. The website can be found at
http://www.childwelfare.gov/adoption/nam/.
