CHOCTAW COUNTY ––At approximately 7 a. m. Monday morning, District 17 Drug Task Force Agents, assisted by the Choctaw County Sheriff’s Office, served a search warrant at a Swink residence, belonging to Art Sarver, who was believed to be trafficking in large amounts of marijuana. According to official reports, when law enforcement agents arrived at the home northeast of Swink, the smell of marijuana was so strong, it could be detected from the front yard. Oune-pound bundles of marijuana were hidden inside ice chests and coolers inside the home, reports stated, and agents found large scales in the location the marijuana was being stored. Agents seized more than 11 pounds of high-grade marijuana, several vehicles, motorcycles, 11 firearms and $5,782 in cash. Agents believe Sarver was a marijuana supplier for the Choctaw and McCurtain County area. |

Hugo Daily News / Stan Stamper “It’s not your God-given right, but it is your Constitutional right,” Mullin said. “I am in strong opposition to the president and his administration (with respect to more gun control) and I am very pro-Second Amendment. I’ll stand up for you.” HUGO — Oklahoma Second District Congressman Markwayne Mullin included Hugo and Choctaw County last week in his first townhall blitz since being sworn in the first week of January. Flanked by a large gallery of law-enforcement officers, Mullin explained that he and his family recently received death threats as a result of his stance against the banning of assault weapons. Mullin said representing Oklahoma’s Second District in the nation’s capital, “is an honor I don’t take lightly.” As the freshman congressman learns the ropes in Washington, D. C., he made it clear that he was highly put off by “party politics.” |

The Board of Directors of Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma (LASO) has elected Bruce Frazier, advocate for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Victim Assistance Program, to serve as LASO’s president for 2013. Frazier served last year as vice-president and has been a board member since 2009. “Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma helps provide much needed legal services to those who would otherwise have no one to turn to,” said Frazier, who lives in Hugo. “In today’s economy we have many members of the Choctaw Nation as well as others who would be lost in a justice system through which they could not find a path. I feel it is an honor and a privilege to serve Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma as a member of the Board of Directors and strive to lead the board through these days when funding challenges are surpassed by the greater need of our clients.” |
