11/7/09 — OKC, OK – An Oklahoma City firefighter accused of felony armed drug dealing is given a free pass by prosecutors in Oklahoma County.

As originally reported on 4/5/07 – Oklahoma City firefighter James Kenneth Frazer, 45, was arrested and charged with three drug related felonies (trafficking illegal drugs, distribution of CDS, and possession of a weapon while committing a felony) in May of 2006.

Only two months later, and while out on $30,000 bond, Frazer reportedly was in a high speed chase from police when they tried to pull him and fellow felon Leshone Farmer, 29, over to question them about a reported theft.

The chase ended near a wooded area several miles later. (read an account by the Daily Oklahoman)

Frazer was booked into the Oklahoma County jail on complaints of receiving or concealing stolen property.

Most law abiding citizens would find comfort in the belief that the Oklahoma criminal justice system would deliver swift and appropriate punishment to an individual engaged in such activities. Not so apparently if you’re a member of the Oklahoma City Fire Department.

On October 14, 2009 Frazer pled guilty to felony possession of a CDS with intent to distribute (aka, Drug Dealer) and felony possession of a weapon while committing a felony. The third charge of conspiracy for unlawful distribution of a CDS was dismissed. And what was this armed felon drug dealer sentenced to? A mere 5-years deferred! No prison, no drug court and no charges for the high speed police chase. I’m sure its all just a coincidence he’s also a firefighter.
