Sheriff's Deputy Lawsuit Resolved

Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz.
Tulsa County
Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz.

Tulsa County settles with a former top deputy in the deposed Sheriff Stanley Glanz administration. An agreement is reached with former Captain Billy McKelvey in his lawsuit. Assistant District Attorney Doug Wilson says it allows the county to confess judgement without admitting any liability.

McKelvey was one of several administrators who were fired, retired,  or resigned after the Reserve Deputy Bob Bates scandal that led to the downfall of Glanz. McKelvey will get more than $137-thousand in the judgement.
