Speaker 2:Good morning everybody. Welcome to the Deputy Dane Morning Show. I appreciate all y'all for being here. We got some stuff to get into. I really don't know what we're going to get into, but we'll get into something. Sit back. Oh, yep, there's the sirens. I think we're all going to be detained. Sit back and enjoy the show. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2:It's been a while since we recorded I believe november of 2024. Oh shit, how things have changed. We got old trump in office. He's got doge going on. I kind of do find it funny that they named it doge at the same time. The bitcoin was called doge. But either way, that's neither here nor there. It's been a while since we recorded and I'm very sorry about that.
Speaker 2:Just life has been getting crazy. A lot of jury trials, a lot of stuff going on. That One of the jury trials was a family involved in things with children. I'll leave it there until we're completely done with all the cases. They're appealing, but the main suspect got found guilty on nine of the ten accounts. Nine of the ten counts, not accounts. You know what I'm saying. He got found guilty of nine of the ten counts that we filed on him. The jury had given him around 52 years altogether with all the charges. Judge was able to come in and say what they said they believe he should serve. At the end of the day it came down to 30 years in and three years out of probation. But he'll have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. So 30 years in, he'll be 50-something by the time he gets out. I'm okay with it.
Speaker 2:Um, it's kind of crazy just the ups and downs that case did and and it really made me realize some of the stuff that I thought I knew and that I was very proficient at. And then someone came in and this guy is a retired detective from a big, big agency. Dude is thorough, very thorough, so thorough that like made me look at things that like I'm like, oh, I could have done that. Did I have to do it? No, I mean, could I? Yes, either way. Um, he was found guilty.
Speaker 2:Um, the other party was found guilty because they pled. They, uh, the other party was found guilty because they pled. They ended up getting, I think, 10 years in, wasn't it? Yeah, 10 years in, 10 years in, you have to serve 85% because of the charges in our state. So it's 85%, both of them have to do. We still have one other party that's still fighting. Jury starts in August for that one. That's a long time, like September. Um, that's a long time, so like September, I think, actually a long time away. But either way, we're working on the right process to get him put away too. Uh, I had another case where it's been continued. He's probably going to plea, and that was somebody talking to what he believed to be a minor online Um.
Speaker 2:Can't really go into any of the details of these cases right now, but that's where I'm at. It's been a crazy week. This week had a gentleman drown. That was a whole thing. I don't know. Just a bunch of stuff going on. Got new computers for our office office, so we've got those all installed. Um got new shotguns. The new shotguns are pretty sweet. We got those um for everybody.
Speaker 2:The sheriff and I are really trying to pick up some things that the previous sheriff didn't. The previous sheriff tried to do a lot of stuff but was held back due to budget restraints and stuff, so they did the best they could. I love the sheriff that I was working for. I love the sheriff I work for now, so no complaints there. It's just kind of where we're at.
Speaker 2:The state passed a grant that was supposed to increase the salaries of all deputies and sheriffs in the state to match states around us. It was called the Sheriff's Salary Bill. It was passed, went into effect this last year that we could use for this year and that's what we've done some of the funding for, such as getting new vehicles for the sheriff's office, getting computers, getting shotguns, getting pistols, getting new vest, getting a bunch of stuff. But You'll see what I did there. I said the sheriff's salary bill went into effect and we bought equipment. The state my state's very good at passing things without being ready to pass these things.
Speaker 2:So, that being said, as they pass the sheriff salary bill but then realize there are some loopholes that gave the sheriff too much power where the sheriff could make themselves get this amount of money and nobody else in their agency. So then they started backpedaling. Long story short, they made it to where you really weren't increasing salaries. You could use it for operations. Now, to use for operations would be awesome, but it depends on your county commissioners, our county commissioners and us. We get along pretty well, but there's some shortcomings there as well. So we could use the money the state gave us for M&O, which is maintenance and operations of the agency, and then we could take the money that's in the maintenance operations of the agency from our budget and increase the salaries. We weren't allowed to do that due to hmm, how can I say they didn't find it fair that the deputies and sheriffs would be making more than, such, as, a road grader, if that makes sense. So what we had to do is we had to give a stipend, check out to increase the salary of the deputies, but by doing that then you couldn't give the sheriff one because they're elected official. It was kind of a crazy deal. So we're finding loopholes with it, but with that money this year we just did stuff to better the agency, better our deputies, make our deputies feel if we can't give you the salary, let's give you things that make you know that you're appreciated, such as before we had to buy our own service weapons. The vest we didn't, but we haven't upgraded in several years. So we did the vest.
Speaker 2:Pistols with red dots, because everyone switched into red dots, and shotguns for every patrol vehicle. Then new computers, because people were complaining about the computers which we needed new computers. The last ones we had are probably about the computers which we needed, new computers. The last ones we had are probably about six, seven years old and they are just hurting. Hurting because you know deputies, over time they add their own little apps here, apps there, and then you get stuck with some just slowing the computer down. We can't figure it out. But as of last week we got brand new computers for several. You know, in our bullpen we only had one computer in there. We used to be two, but we had one. And then with those one computer people would have to fight over it Okay, it's my turn type of case and then I'd let them use my office, the sheriff would let them use their office. Now that's, we have three in bullpen now. So we don't have to worry about that. We have an extra one in an extra office we have and new computers for everybody. So we're like Oprah of computers.
Speaker 2:I know this has kind of been going to just giving uh, like a rundown of things I've been dealing with. And then the farm. You know it's springtime, almost, not yet, but almost. But when it starts getting this, you know, nice here, nice there, it makes you just want to get outside and start planting and start getting things going. So it's been fun. It's been a lot going on. Recently, new patrol vehicle came in. Now I've got to take it to get upfitted. So this next week we'll be driving it, dropping it off, getting it upfitted and then I'll have a new patrol vehicle. I'm super excited about that.
Speaker 2:But um, yeah that's kind of the updates of my life. Um been working with another TikToker and also a trooper in another state about we're going to start another podcast. Trooper in Another State about we're going to start another podcast just me and him and I and it'll be. I think it'll be good, it'll be. It's going to be for you know, it's called the Father's Toolbox. It's going to be where we can tell trials and tribulations of our own life, things we deal with being a good father, things that we stress about being a good father, things like that. But it's really going to come down to a lot of people. So I'm pretty excited about it. We'll get that going. But yeah, so again, I know it's been a while. I figured I'd give some updates of what's going on and that's kind of updates.
Speaker 2:Mom's house is it's here. I have shit with contractors, just shit luck. My contractor on our house screwed us over, so we got another one. He screwed us over, uh, where we were left trying to figure out what to do. So I've been learning by YouTube to do some stuff. Well, we moved mom here. Um contractor did the pad, did a good job. There was some deals where he kind of drug his feet and and he even admitted it said sorry. So he came and got that done. The electrician was awesome, plumber's awesome, they were great hooking everything up. Then we got another contractor. That contractor, oh, it's been a headache.
Speaker 2:The mom was supposed to get a big porch on the back of her house, a porch on the front of her house and a shop all done, and we've been battling it for months. Shop was put in, garage door wasn't put in. They quoted the garage door price and they said, oh well, we didn't quote the price. And I said, well, it's right here in the quote. They go, oh well, we normally don't give that. That floors me. I don't know how you're trying to think I didn't know what was going on and we would pay for a garage door that I already paid for.
Speaker 2:Then they disappeared for a while, took some money to get the materials for the back porch. Kind of drug their feet on that. But, man, been a lot. I just have shit luck with contractors. They're finally coming out, getting it done, oh God.
Speaker 2:But then, oh man, they come out and they told us that they didn't go to a garage door opener Deal, no problem, but I did pay you for a garage door. So then they asked for the money for a garage door opener, said, no problem, we'll pay for that. We paid for it. And then they brought this cheap amazon garage door and door opener. It's not even like your typical garage door. This is like a roll-up door, but it's like a cheap one you get on amazon for like a couple hundred bucks. And then it didn't even go down to the bottom. There's just just getting swindled, swindled left and right. Um, but I didn't really put in the quote what kind of garage door I'm supposed to get, but it's, that's not it. That's not, that's not it. But I don't know what we'll do with that. Um, we'll get there, we'll get there.
Speaker 2:There's several things that and then I mean we had snow ice, so that kind of made them back up, and then they told me they ended up in the hospital for a while. That backed them up. I don't know, we're just. And then I see they have a facebook page for their farm, but their farm page he's selling cattle and doing great on there, but yet he's been in and out of the hospital. I don't, it's just a weird deal. Shit luck with contractors. So that's where we're at. So, um, yeah, I don't know, that's kind of what we're going through.
Speaker 2:I know I'm going to try to get back into doing the podcast. I want to start doing like breaking down the cases, stuff like that. It's a really weird deal trying to get the podcast and getting back motivated because I don't want to be all law enforcement, but then what else do I talk about? You know it's kind of like uh, so that's where we're at. We'll we'll continue to grow, continue to get back into doing this, especially with being in another podcast. It's going to keep me motivated to kind of get on here and start doing my stuff, start getting this going again, see if we can't really get it hemmed up and figure out the direction we want to go.
Speaker 2:Um, because if it's me, I mean I do a whole podcast on zombies. I, I love zombies. I could sit here and talk about zombies for hours, days, just the different kind of zombies, everything I listen to my audio, my Audible, is just zombie book after zombie book. I love zombie stuff. I don't know why. It's just always been a fascination of mine. I think it was one of the first things that scared me as a kid, watching the original Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Living Dead. Oh, freaking, love them, still love them, love the remakes. I love zombies. I love them all.
Speaker 2:So we'll see what the route we're going to go. We've got farm stuff coming up. We've got a lot of stuff coming up. I've really been trying to buckle down on social media but, man, it's been hard with kids and getting everything going. It's been rough, but we'll get there. Bear with me, we'll get there. What else do we have? I don't know. There's a lot of stuff going on. Let me think about something. Hold on, even though you won't know, I'm hitting pause, but I'm going to hit pause. All right, there we go. Man, that's kind of weird, all right.
Speaker 2:So I'll kind of talk about a case that I've been working, and I worked several years ago, and it all really comes back to the Trail of Tears. Now you're wondering how the hell could a case that I've been working in the 2020s could take you back to the Trail of Tears way back in the day. So let's explain a thing that my state has a problem with, and I think it's a problem. A lot of people don't think it's a problem. A lot of people do think it's a problem. But let's break it down to the Trail of Tears. If you know what the trail of tears, if you know the trail of tears are about going to history class, we'll take it down to the trail of tears. And if we want to like really break this down, I can do a whole episode of this, like I can really break it down to the t of going through everything, but we'll do kind of a rundown, a quick rundown.
Speaker 2:So trail of tears forced a lot of native people into an area and that area is now known as Oklahoma. Now in the process, you put all these tribes and you forced them to this area. Now, in this area you gave them reservations. Now this isn't like your reservation that you see in, like Arizona and everything. It's not necessarily that kind of reservation, it's just a large allotment of land that we force the tribes into and we put the tribes there. And this is a really dumbed down explanation, okay. So like I can really go through it later if we want to on a whole episode, breaking down everything.
Speaker 2:But so in this process they had moved all these natives to this area, put them in this area and said this is your area. Federal government said this is your area Now in the process. We promised them they'll never be a state. Well, what happens? Years go by and you get a state in 1907 called Oklahoma. Now in the process. The federal government could do a disestablishment of a reservation, but it was never found of being done. Process the federal government could do a disestablishment of a reservation, but they were never. It was never found of being done. There's no text on it, there's no court documents, there's no nothing that showed the federal government had all the stuff to do to establish or disestablish these federal allotments of land known as reservations. So Oklahoma received these natives. It became a native state pretty much, and in doing so, we didn't disestablish it.
Speaker 2:So what that means to my case now is around 2020, there was a ruling called McGirt versus the state of Oklahoma. Mcgirt is a gentleman I have met personally, very big asshole. Mcgirt had done things to a four-year-old child and you can imagine what type of things I'm talking about. Now. Mcgirt's argument which he's not a very intelligent dude, mcgirt's attorney's argument was the state of Oklahoma, even though you have the Major Crimes Act argument was the state of Oklahoma, even though you have the Major Crimes Act, should not have any way to have any legal bounds to him because he's native, it should be the tribe. So it went back and forth for quite a while. Then we had another big case, george Floyd. Now, if you remember when George Floyd stuff happened, george Floyd and his whole ordeal caused a lot of anti-law enforcement, a lot of stuff like that. Well now this McGirt ruling had been trying to get passed for quite some time, never got passed. Now, as soon as the George Floyd anti-police thing abolish, police defund, the police thing happened, guess what passes McGirt versus state of Oklahoma.
Speaker 2:So what that means in easy terms is now the state, because McGirt is a native individual. Now the state or the federal government does not have legal bounds to him. So he's been in and out of court. He's been in and out of everything. His appeals went through. Now he was released from prison because the amount of time served that you can get a maximum you can get for a crime in native court is three years, three years. You murder someone three years. You do this three years. Three years. You murder someone three years. You do this three years. So again, I've told you my state has some very stupid individuals that pass shit without it going through. So mcgirt beats it, mcgirt's let go. Um, he's getting stuff that register as a registered sex offender through the state as well, through the tribes. It's a very fun ordeal. And where does McGirt move? You guessed it, my fucking county. So I get to deal with this individual.
Speaker 2:Very, very so this started for this tribe, okay, this tribe started it. Now other tribes have jumped on and then they got their own McGirt ruling. So now all the other tribes have the same ruling that if they're native, if you're not cross-deputized with the native tribe, then you can't hold legal laws to them. And again, this is very, very dumbed down. Not saying that you're dumb, that's just. I'm dumb. So it's very. This is very breaking it down to just a common I don't know whatever. So McGirt passes, gets all this done.
Speaker 2:The state did stupid shit, like all of a sudden now said, oh, we didn't have the right to hold any of those other people accountable and started releasing people from prison. Like what the fuck? So they start releasing these people. These people get out. A lot of them. This is going to be a very big shocker to you. A lot of them recommitted crimes.
Speaker 2:One individual I know a case about. He was released from prison, goes home, gets drunk, gets his 13-year-old son to go driving with him. They start doing donuts. He flips a car, kills his son, son's dead, dad Native Still out. So the whole reason I bring up this whole ordeal is we had crossed with one of our tribes and it didn't go very well. They wanted us to do a lot of this stuff but didn't want to counteract with us, so we got rid of our cross, meaning if you're a native suspect, the tribe has to deal with you. Now again, that really hurts the citizens, and this is my opinion. It really hurts the citizens because if you murder little timmy, he gets three years. So it's kind of a crazy deal. Now, since that's happened, there's been other legislation that's kind of changed it a little bit. Um, when it first McGirt passed man, if you're native, that's it, you get whatever.
Speaker 2:We filed a lot of cases with the native courts and they didn't go anywhere. Like I mean, I had one gentleman who was in a stolen vehicle. He's an aggravated registered sex offender, had a firearm on him, fought me, fought my partner. Um was reaching for our tasers to the point we almost had to shoot him cause we're exhausted. We fought him for 20 minutes, finally got him apprehended, got him into the uh, sent him in, did all of our cases and they released him the next day.
Speaker 2:Um what? They released him the next day. What's he do the next day? As immediately he gets released, he goes and steals a car from one of these towns next to the jail that he went to and gets in a pursuit. They try to ask us for help. The sheriff says we're not going to come help you. You've already released him for fighting two law enforcement officers. He's got assault on the law enforcement officer in a stolen vehicle, has a firearm and he's not registering as a registered sex offender. We're not going to help you because all you're going to do is you're going to release him again and we're going to put our people in danger and it's not going to be worth it. So that's kind of the stuff we were dealing with for a while.
Speaker 2:Now you ask again how does my case that I'm working now go with the case that I'd done before or go back to the trail of tears? So that's how trail of tears, state statehood doesn't abolish. All of a sudden the attorneys find this out and natives get their stuff. So in turn. I had worked a case several years ago. There was two little shit bags In turn. I had worked a case several years ago. There was two little shit bags. These two little shit bags were going around stealing side-by-side, stealing vehicles, breaking into houses, demolishing stuff just to demolish it.
Speaker 2:This little shithead stole a side-by-side, gets it stuck while there was a neighboring agency was in pursuit with him. They lost him. He gets it stuck in the mud. Now, instead of just going oh, I got away, but then instead of leaving the side by side, he finds it in his best interest to just slash the shit of the seats, so that way when the people get it back now, they have to still replace the seats. He didn't get to keep it, so he wants to inflict damage. Now, why he wants to inflict damage to them, I don't know. They did nothing to him. This went on for a while and I had worked a whole weekend chasing these two little shits and I followed everything. I got videos. I got everything. I turned it in.
Speaker 2:One of those shitheads is white, non-native. He's in prison right now. One of the little shitheads is a native dude. Looks white, as can be, but he's got a native card. He ends up getting released. They didn't pick up any of the charges that I had filed and that's kind of why we got rid of our cross is they weren't doing anything with the charges we're filing. So you need to come, send your officers down, because if you send your officers down maybe you'll do stuff. It's not fair to the citizens for us to turn everything in and they keep getting released so fast.
Speaker 2:Forward a couple years he gets arrested again. Bunch of burglaries Carrying around a shotgun Threatening people Gets arrested again. I know this is going to be a fucking shocker to everybody, but he gets released again. So he cleans up his act a little bit, tries to be a good dad, finally Be in his kids lives lay off the dope. Recently have a bunch of burrikans guess what side by sides getting stolen. Now, this little asshole, instead of just stealing someone side by side, what he'll do is he'll steal your vehicle and he'll use your vehicle to ram into gates, ram into garage doors so he can get into your garage and steal your side by side and dude, guess what Ram into somebody else's and do the same thing.
Speaker 2:Um, these cases that I started working this last week a bunch of the same stuff's going on. I already know this guy's MO. I know exactly what he does. So we're back to battling him again doing his shit, because he's got back on dope and decided not to be a good dad in his kid's life. So we'll see how this one ends up. I already know who did it. It's just gotta you gotta prove who did it. But I mean, his MO is to a T. The area of where he's hitting is to a T. He's just he's going to keep doing it. He just doesn't care. He stole a couple. We got that back to the owner and again, this is. I know who did it, but I can't. I don't have proof yet, but we're working on that. Uh, so this little shithead is back doing what he's trying to do and it's just a pain in my dick just because I've busted my ass to keep this dude away. I've busted my ass to put him away.
Speaker 2:The non-natives in prison. This asshole is out for the third time doing the same shit fourth time, fifth time. I mean he does it all the time. He gets good for about a month and then he goes back to just doing it and he just keeps getting released. So it just kills me. Um, this is probably seventh, eighth time in the last couple years that he's done this and he goes on rash of just doing it and just getting them to hold him accountable is un, it's unheard of. Um, now we have some better rulings to the McGirt ruling that we gives us a little bit more power, so we're hoping we can put him away. He needs to go away. He's not changed. He's never going to change. Maybe one day he'll change, but as of right now, he's never been held accountable. And this is a prime example of why we've got to hold our kids accountable, because this dude's never been held accountable. And guess what the fuck happens? He gets out, just goes right back into doing it. No, just a slap on the wrist and bam, right back into doing it. So things we're dealing with right now just oodles and oodles and oodles of fun.
Speaker 2:So again, I know it's been a while, so I wanted to kind of jump on here, touch base with everybody and get our podcast started again.
Speaker 2:I've got some stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm really working on trying to get it to where we have stuff to talk about, semi just rambling on about my life and things I've been dealing with and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:But I figured a lot of you guys that are here are I don't like the word fans, but your friends, you like to hear things that I have to say. I don't know why I don't even like to hear myself, but that's where we're at. I just I don't know Big things. I want to start doing is maybe work on some cases, just show you some cases and kind of my opinion of those cases. Not that I mean, I'm not an expert in anything. Really, I do a little bit of this, I do a little bit of that. So I don't fuck, I don't know, but I appreciate the guy, I appreciate all you guys so much. Thank you for the love and support. Let's try to get this going, or I'm going to try to get this. Not let let's. I'm going to try to get this going again and see if we can't get more contact content pushed out. Thank you guys so much for the continued love and support. Man, just try to be better people. That's what I
