New Cleveland County Sheriff want a 'Drunk Tank' ?

Hat Tip to Hannah @ OU Multimedia Blog

OU Multimedia Blog:
Cleveland County may be on its way to getting a public detoxification center for adults caught intoxicated in public.

The center will be for adults seeking treatment for both drugs and alcohol. It will not be used to house juveniles.

Recently elected Cleveland County Sheriff Joe Lester has had a detoxification center on his mind for several years including the years he served at OU as the director of public safety.

“It’s still in the talking stages, but we are hoping to have a place to take people as an alternative to jail,” Lester said.

It is unknown the cost and location of the public detoxification center as of now, but soon more concrete details will be discussed, Lester said.
Funny, I do NOT remember Sheriff Joe, talking about a 'Drunk Tank' in Norman last year when He ran for Sheriff.

I do remember him on the Door's in North Cleveland County, talking about how Conservative
he was. And how He step it up in the 30 day Runoff Election, talking about how He was going to make the Cleveland County Sheriff Dept. 287(g) with ICE. But no talking about a 'Drunk Tank'.

But I still think it odd that all of
Sheriff Joe Liberal/ Progressive friends in the People's Republic of Norman could vote for a real Conservative.

Drunk Tank?
Why doesn't he just drive them home and tuck them in the he used to do?

Nevermind. This is Cleveland County, NOT OU. Lots of non-celebrity types in Cleveland Co.
Got to have a place to lock those losers up.
