A sheriff’s department in Oklahoma may be making some policy changes after a woman escaped from her cuffs last week, accessed a deputy’s rifle, and fired shots wounding a deputy and a bystander.
Grady County Undersheriff Gary Boggess tells FOX25 the woman was able to reach a console that included several switches, in particular one that is used for a deputy to unlock a rifle secured in the patrol vehicle. He explains she could see the switch labeled “gun” and activate the unlocking mechanism.
