Norman, Oklahoma, News: Chain Gang Escapees, Plus Bank Robbery & Theft of My Dad's Bicycle
I woke up in the middle of the night to research & diagnose my daughter's illness, and then saw a lot of talk on Facebook from my teacher friends that Norman schools were on lockdown after the chain gang escape of two convicts. Then my dad posted about his bike getting stolen at the site of a bank robbery, where he had to talk to the FBI and local police.
Both were overshadowed on CNN by the North Korea nuclear test & Pope's retirement . . . .
And the final article is about a judge I know from school days in Norman . . . .

Manhunt in Norman rattles community
by Arianna Pickard | February 11, 2013
Norman police officers rendevous outside of Charleston Apartments on west Lindsay. The officers were in pursuit of Taylor Daniel Brotherton on Monday, Feb 11.
An escaped convict was caught in Norman yesterday after a five-hour manhunt involving more than 50 police officers and six different law enforcement agencies. Sooners were alerted after two potentially armed McClain County inmates escaped and drove to Norman, causing Norman Public Schools to be put on lockdown and the university bus service to close certain stops.
The two inmates were identified as Taylor Brotherton, 28, and Chase Clemons, 21, said McClain County Undersheriff Bill Shobe. They were both being held on charges of drug possession - Clemons since Feb. 6 and Brotherton since Jan. 31. They escaped while working at the McClain County Expo Center in Purcell around 9:45 a.m., Shobe said. They stole a county vehicle and drove to Norman, crashing the truck into a fence behind O’Reilly Auto Parts on Lindsey Street in Norman. Clemons was caught within minutes of the crash, but Brotherton escaped and was not caught until 3:25 p.m.
At 10:30 a.m. The Oklahoma Daily was notified there were escaped convicts in Norman. University spokesman Michael Nash said he had not yet heard about the escapees when The Daily contacted him at 10:36 a.m. He was notified minutes later by the Norman Police Department. OU Police Department was contacted at 10:43 a.m., but refused to comment at the time regarding whether campus police had been notified about the escaped convicts. Norman Police contacted Norman Public Schools around 10:30 a.m. requesting that they lock down two schools, said Shelly Hickman, communications director for Norman Public Schools. Alcott Middle School, Whittier Middle School, Jackson Elementary School and Norman High School were put on lockdown first, but as the suspect was expected to be moving, the rest of Norman Public Schools were locked down, Hickman said.
OUPD sent out an alert around 11:10 a.m. informing students that Norman Police were pursuing a potentially armed suspect in the south central part of Norman and that no action needed to be taken at OU at the time. Nash said OUPD had been working with Norman Police to quickly activate the alert, which was released over text, the university website, Facebook and Twitter. OUPD was contacted at 11:30 a.m. for more information, but again refused to comment and told The Daily to contact Norman Police.
Around 11:30 a.m. OUPD sent out a second alert with the suspect’s physical description and announced he had last been seen north of Lindsey Street and east of 24th Avenue Northwest. When contacted at 12:43 p.m., Norman Police had broken the search parameter, which stretched from Main Street to Lindsey Street and about a half mile east and west, said Norman Police Captain Tom Easley. Though the search had been discontinued, Norman police officers were maintained at Whittier Middle School, Alcott Middle School and Jackson Elementary School, Easley said.
Around 1 p.m. the Cleveland Area Rapid Transit restricted bus service in the area of West Lindsey and 24th Avenue Northwest, according to the OU website. The lockdown was lifted on Norman Public Schools around 1:15 p.m., after Norman Police said the inmate was no longer believed to be in the area of south central Norman, Hickman said. CART stops were reopened soon after the lockdown was lifted, said Vicki Holland, OU Parking and Transit spokeswoman.
Brotherton was spotted near 24th Avenue Northwest and Brooks Street and was taken into custody by Norman Police Department at 3:25 p.m. Brotherton was put back in the custody of McClain County by 5:48 p.m. and was at that time being interviewed by detectives, said McClain County Sheriff Don Hewett. Charges have been filed against Brotherton and Clemons for escaping from a county jail and stealing a motor vehicle. Brotherton’s bond will be raised from its original amount of $5,000, Hewett said. However, he was not sure how much it would be raised.
More than 50 officers became involved during the search for the escapee, including representatives from Norman Police Department, OUPD, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Cleveland and McClain counties and the U.S. Marshall Service, according to a Norman Police Department press release.

11:50 a.m. NORMAN - Law officers from several agencies continue to search for a McClain County inmate who is at-large in Norman following an escape Monday morning. They think he is armed.

The men stopped at a convenience store in Washington, where they were spotted, Hewett said. They fled and crashed into a fence near 24th Avenue SW and Lindsey Street, where officers captured Chase Clemons, 21, the sheriff said.
Taylor Brotherton, 28, fled on foot. Clemons told officers Brotherton had a handgun.
“As a precaution, we are locking down all of our schools while the NPD works this non-school-related incident with an armed suspect in our community,” said Shelly Hickman, spokeswoman for Norman Public Schools. The two inmates were serving time for drug charges, Undersheriff Bill Shobe said.

Oklahoma judge requires offenders to go to company that pays him rent
Cleveland County Special Judge Steve Stice is ordering offenders in aggravated drunken-driving cases to use a private company, Oklahoma Court Services, for probation monitoring. The judge is a part-owner in a business that gets monthly rent payments from Oklahoma Court Services.
By Nolan Clay | Published: February 4, 2013
NORMAN - A Cleveland County special judge is requiring offenders in aggravated drunken-driving cases to use a company that pays him and a business partner $2,321 per month in rent, The Oklahoman has learned.
“I have followed the rules,” Judge Steve Stice said Friday. “I have followed every rule that there is. I have disclosed everything to everyone. It's on my ethics reports. I'm not the only judge that owns real estate.” Stice, 43, said he has been upfront about the lease of office space to Oklahoma Court Services Inc., a private company that supervises offenders on probation. He said he disclosed the arrangement to his bosses, the elected district judges who hired him in 2010. He said he disclosed it also to Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn and to defense attorneys. “It's all been out there,” he said.
Stice said he found a 2000 Oklahoma Judicial Ethics opinion that provides guidelines on how a judge can be a landlord at the same time. He said no one has asked him to recuse himself from a case because of these issues. The Oklahoman learned of the lease arrangement from attorneys who are critical of it. They declined to comment on the record.
Supervising offenders
The criticism comes at a time when the judge and district attorney are at odds over who should supervise offenders on probation for aggravated drunken driving. Mashburn contends his own employees can provide the supervision in those misdemeanor cases. Mashburn also said he also needs the $40 per month an offender pays for the supervision. Mashburn said his office has lost about $100,000 in supervision fees since the judge started sending offenders in aggravated drunken-driving cases to the private company. He said he worries about losing even more supervision fee money. “I'd have to stop prosecution in lots of cases if I didn't have that money,” the district attorney said. “Right now, it's aggravated DUIs. What is it tomorrow?”
Public safety
The judge contends the key issue is public safety, and the private company provides the proper monitoring of the offenders that the law requires. “I want them to have to see somebody at least once a month to determine whether or not this person is getting the counseling … taking drug tests … doing all the things that need to be done,” Stice said. “Because under the DA version, we wouldn't know until the end of the year.” The judge estimated he only sent about 100 cases to Oklahoma Court Services out of the 6,000 to 8,000 cases he has handled so far.
Silent partner
Stice, a former criminal defense attorney, owns a third of ACS Enterprises LLC, which owns four buildings near the courthouse. His partner, Marty Coltrane, said the judge is a silent partner and the judge does not manage any of the buildings. ACS Enterprises was formed years before Stice became a judge. Oklahoma Court Services is a tenant in one of ACS Enterprises' buildings. Oklahoma Court Services owner, Julia Curry, said it pays $2,321 a month in rent.
Curry and Stice once were co-owners of a similar business, Cleveland County Pretrial Services LLC. Because he was becoming a judge, Stice sold his half of Cleveland County Pretrial Services to Curry for $99,000, records show. “That was a no-brainer,” the judge said. The judge is getting paid in installments of $1,650 a month for five years. Cleveland County Pretrial Services also is a tenant of ACS Enterprises. Cleveland County Pretrial Services pays $1,148 per month in rent, Curry said. The county pays Cleveland County Pretrial Services up to $15,000 a month to operate, she said
Court ruling
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in October ruled against Mashburn in October when the prosecutor challenged the judge's use of a private company in aggravated drunken-driving cases.
Mashburn said he now is seeking a legislative solution - that would require a judge to have a prosecutor's consent to send an offender to a private supervision company. He said prosecutors are telling legislators “please … let's fix this so that a judge just can't wake up one day and … say, ‘I've decided not to give you this class,' or wake up one day and say, ‘You know what, I've decided not to give you anything.'”
Mashburn said, “The worry is that you're going to have a judge hold some kind of appeal against you … and then his way to get you back is to go around you with supervision fees.” Stice said he began sending aggravated drunken-driving cases to the private company only because the law changed in November 2010. He said legislators added new requirements for supervising offenders while on probation “that I know the DA doesn't do.” “If I wanted to bankrupt the DA for some reason or I wanted to line Julia's pockets with a ton of money, I'd send everything” to the private company, Stice said.

Manhunt in Norman rattles community
