Tuesday Sheriff's Beat

A local teenager was jailed Monday in lieu of a $100,000 bond after his arrest on rape and lewd molestation charges.

Cherokee County Chief Investigator Jason Chennault arrested Daryl Eugene Case, 17, for two counts of lewd molestation and a count of first-degree rape. Formal charges are expected to be filed in district court against Case, who was previously certified to stand trial as an adult. His alleged victims are 14 and 15 years old. Special District Judge Sandy Crosslin set the bond after reading Chennault’s probable cause affidavit.

In an unrelated matter, deputies are investigating the alleged theft of seven head of cattle from Johnny Bucket’s property in Qualls. The theft was discovered Monday when the owner returned home. Anyone with information should contact the sheriff’s office at 456-2583.

David Bailey reported the theft of some bulls on March 21. Some were being held in Nowata, and others were taken in Cherokee County.

Matthew Jones filed a report Saturday, alleging thieves took a 12-gauge shotgun, a 30-30 rifle and a 10-22 rifle.

Darrel Shaver told deputies Sunday that Tulsa World paper boxes at Snake Creek and Chicken Creek were damaged and money was removed.

Poll

The use of cell phones while driving is increasingly becoming an issue. What do you think about cell phone use by emergency personnel, like law enforcement officers, EMTs, firemen, etc.?

• If the law allows the common citizen to use cell phones while driving, emergency personnel should be able to also.
• Emergency personnel should be held to a higher standard. Since they are often driving faster than normal, they should not be allowed to use cell phones while driving, even if other citizens can.
• They should be allowed to use them like anyone else, but their host entities (hospitals, fire departments, cities, etc.) should carry extra insurance for this reason.
• Don't know.
