UPDATES IN RED

But that’s old news, which has not been reported anywhere that I can find. In fact, on February 22, the Claremore Daily Progress quotes Claremore Police Department Assistant Chief Stan Brown as saying:

“This person is not under arrest — he never was.”

Here are the incident reports from Claremore Police Department.

The first report, dated 2/18/2008, indicates the initial call regarding the decapitated dog’s head at Deer Run Apartments at 22:00 (10:00 PM). The second report, dated 2/19/2008, states that the case was cleared by arrest at 18:06 (6:06 PM). I emailed Assistant Chief Brown and he provides the following clarification:

The transporting officer give [sic] dispatch the wrong code and she entered it on the card that way. … The officer’s report for this situation reflect [sic] that subject Parks was detained specifically for a mental health evaluation.

From everything I hear about Assistant Chief Brown, he is a stand-up guy, and he has been responsive and helpful in regards to my inquiries. I’ll buy his clarification.

Parks was taken to Grand Lake Mental Health for observation. He has since been released and, as of 2/22/2008, is in Rogers County jail with a charge of Planning to Perform Act of Death. I am researching exactly what that charge indicates. Assistant Chief Brown informs me that Parks was booked into Rogers County jail on 2/22/2008 on an arrest warrant for violation of: Devising a plan to cause serious bodily injury or death in violation of 21 O.S. 1378(c):

C. Any person who shall devise any plan, scheme or program of action to cause serious bodily harm or death of another person with intent to perform such malicious act of violence, whether alone or by conspiring with others, shall be guilty of a felony, punishable upon conviction thereof by imprisonment for a period of not more than ten (10) years.
