DA Steps Down From Assault Case

KWGS News File Photo

The Rogers County District Attorney will not represent Sheriff Scott Walton in a civil lawsuit. Matt Ballard recused himself from the case yesterday.

Walton is accused of assaulting a medical marijuana supporter at a forum when he physically removed him from the event.

Chip Paul, the founder of ‘Oklahomans for Health’, filed a lawsuit against Walton for assault. Walton has claimed Paul was being disruptive. That is an allegation Paul denies.
