11/7/09 – Norman, OK — A man accused of providing a 12-year old neighbor with marijuana and alcohol is apparently on the run and the presiding judge is none-too-happy.
Originally reported by the OKRA News Blog June 29, 2007 – Gary Allen Campbell, 44, was arrested June 6, 2007 after police discovered a 12-year old neighbor in his apartment who was obviously intoxicated. The boy was transported to the hospital where it was discovered his blood alcohol level was .079.
According to police, the young boy told police that Campbell gave him KD Whiskey and hits of marijuana from a glass pipe.
Campbell was scheduled to appear before a Cleveland County judge on October 28, 2009 but was a no-show (Campbell’s third no-show in this case).
Judge Lucas apparently is not playing around and issued the following order, “bench warrant to be issued, NCIC all states, new bond set at $20,000, not to be lowered or reduced. Defendant to be brought before this judge within 24-hours of arrest.”

11/5/07 — Moore, OK – Ah, the joys of fatherhood; that unexplainable sense of pride when your little boy becomes an adult – or, at least gets charged as an adult after he plunges a knife into your stomach and arm!
According to court records, Ernest Ray Robinson decided to confront his 17-year old son, Cameron Cortez Gaddis, on Oct. 27th. The reason for the confrontation? Seems Robinson was seeking an apology for an assault on him by Gaddis previously.
Seems Gaddis wasn’t in an apologetic mood. According to police, Gaddis produced a knife and stabbed dear old dad in the chest. When dad tried to detain Gaddis, Gaddis allegedly stabbed him in the left arm.
Robison was treated and released from a local hosptial.
Gaddis has now been charged in Cleveland County with assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
Update: Case was transferred to juvenile court.

Noble, OK – Next on Jerry Springer “Brothers who take nude photos of their younger sister and the parents who do nothing to stop it.”
A Noble step-mother and father are charged when they allegedly fail to take action after learning their son was forcing their pre-teen daughter to pose nude for photographs.
According to court records, police were called to the Noble Middle School after a 12-year old girl claimed her 16-year-old step-brother had been showing her pornography and forcing her to pose naked for photographs.
According to police, the victim stated that, “for several months her step-brother was intimidating her into taking nude photos of herself with his cell phone.”
The victim also told police that her father and step-mother found out about the photos and other pornography and told her not to tell anybody “about the situation.”
The victim allegedly went on to state that her father and stepmother told her to “stop blaming the step-brother, that she (the victim) was the one to blame.”
Last week charges were filed in Cleveland County against both the victim’s father and step-mother.
*OKRA News Blog is intentionally withholding the name of the father and link to the case to protect the identity of the young victim.

Noble, OK – A man in Noble on house arrest for a burglary charge checks a teen out of school for sex; He now faces additional criminal charges.
According to court records, Shawn Michael Heaton, 18, first got into trouble with the law last October when he was arrested after allegedly burglarizing a home in Lexington while the residence were home.
Heaton was charged with felony burglary in the first degree. Unable to post bond, Heaton was eventually released on house arrest after agreeing to wear an ankle bracelet with GPS capability to ensure he stayed put.
Heaton, undeterred by the restrictions placed on him by the courts, decided to arrange a rendezvous with an underage girl.
According to police, on March 14, Heaton placed a telephone call to the Noble High School pretending to be the father of a 15-year-old female student. Heaton reportedly authorized the girl to be checked out of school early.
Heaton then met up with the girl outside the school and took her and another juvenile girl to the OU Motel in Norman.
Police were tipped off to Heaton’s shenanigans and located him and the teen girls in the hotel room.
One of the girls admitted to having a sexual relationship with Heaton since September.
Just today, newly elected Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn filed felony charges of rape and contributing to the delinquency of a minor against Heaton.
UPDATE: When KFOR News Channel 4 went to the residential address Heaton listed (the one where he was supposed to be on house arrest), it seems the home wasn’t there – Literally!
According to neighbors, Heaton’s trailer house had been repossessed within the last few days.
Update: On 1/9/08 Heaton pled guilty to the burglary charge and was given 5-years deferred. The rape and contributing to the delinquency of a minor charges were dismissed on 6/11/07.
