Two Charges Filed Againt Tywone Parks
3March 5, 2008 by Tyson Wynn
At Tywone Park’s bond hearing last week, Judge Smith instructed the District Attorney’s office that he wanted the charges against Park filed by the next court date (which is tomorrow, Mar. 6, at 9:00 AM). Some acquaintances and I were wagering among ourselves as to when the charges would actually be filed. I think I won because I picked 4:25 PM today, and the case was entered into the OSCN system at 4:11:50 PM today. I hotfooted it over to the courthouse to get copies, but the court clerk’s office had not gotten them completely entered yet. I waited a few minutes, but was not able to get copies before the court clerk’s office closed. I will get copies and have more information when I am at the courthouse tomorrow for the arraignment.
What OSCN does show is that two charges have been filed against Parks. The first, a felony, is the one referenced at the bond hearing and cited here previously, 21 O.S. 1393(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.
The second charge, a misdemeanor, is outraging public decency, which would appear to be a catch-all for otherwise undescribed crimes. It is 21 O.S. 22:
Every person who willfully and wrongfully commits any act which grossly injures the person or property of another, or which grossly disturbs the public peace or health, or which openly outrages public decency, including but not limited to urination in a public place, and is injurious to public morals, although no punishment is expressly prescribed therefor by this code, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Otherwise, all I can report is that the case, Rogers County CF-2008-123, has been assigned to Judge Steidley, and the arraignment tomorrow appears to be set before Judge O’Quin. I’ll have more information as soon as humanly possible.

FOR THE RECORD! Tywone Parks and Paula Blaylock are both members of the Student Support Services Program at RSU.
What has happened to the Bit by Bit Program?
Was interesting to read their website, and hear
about their program. Please find out and send
email. thank you
Since RSU decided that the horse barn was a blight on the landscape, it moved. Fortunately, someone was kind enough to donate land to the project, which really saved it from being quietly killed off (at least in my opinion).
Note that the equine degrees were sidelined, as was the agriculture degree. RSU loves to trumpet about new degrees, but it doesn’t seem quite so enthused when it drops them.
I’m not sure if the BBB program is still running. I heard that Linda Barron had left, and scuttlebutt has it that nepotism was strongly involved in her replacement. I understand that it /is/, since RSU recently advertised for someone to head the program. It does appear that they are having their own troubles lately; that much is clear.
