✊ Still Standing. Still Fighting. Still Telling the Truth.

Dear friends and supporters,

First, thank you. Your signatures, donations, and encouragement have kept me moving forward in the darkest moments of this battle.

As many of you know, I was terminated from my role as Chief Investigator at the Oklahoma County Detention Center (OCDC) after blowing the whistle on internal corruption, unsafe detention practices, and abuse of power. I’ve since filed a Governmental Tort Claim, gathered over 300 pages of direct evidence, and am taking every lawful step to expose what truly happened behind the walls of OCDC.

⚖️ What’s Happening Now:

 • I’ve submitted proof of retaliation, cover-ups, favoritism, and falsified promotions.

 • I’m being blacklisted from law enforcement roles I’m fully qualified for.

 • I continue to care for my two children, my elderly parents, and manage my health — all while pursuing justice without a steady paycheck or legal backing.

🔥 Why This Still Matters:

This is not just about one job or one person.

It’s about demanding truth, safety, and accountability in an institution that affects thousands of lives. What happened to me is happening to others — and your support helps bring it to light.
