OKLAHOMA CITY — Governor Kevin Stitt said he and his administration are exploring legal options for impeachment of the McCurtain County sheriff.
He also again urged Sheriff McClardy to resign, "this guy needs to do the right thing and step down. He’s only hurting himself and hurting Oklahoma.”
Stitt released a statement on Sunday night urging the sheriff and two county commisioners to resign after leaked recordings allegedly caught them making racist comments.
The Oklahoma Attorney General's office released this statement:
“As we have previously stated, the Office of Attorney General is investigating this matter. Attorney General Drummond will review the Governor’s letter and take appropriate action.”
