DEL CITY, Okla. (KFOR) — Del City leaders have turned in more than 5,000 signatures requesting a grand jury investigation into Oklahoma County Commissioner Miles Davidson.
This all stems from the location for the new county jail.
Grand jury investigation request into OK County Commissioner filed
The land at SE 19th and Grand Blvd. in Del City was the site chosen for the new jail. However, questions started to pile up about who owned the land the county purchased, and if there’s a shady connection between the land owner and Davidson.
“We feel like there’s been some wrongdoing there, and we’d just like to sort things out and see what all he’s been up to,” Floyd Eason, Mayor of Del City said.
Mayor Eason says a lack of communication and answers prompted them to start a petition to request a grand jury to investigation into Oklahoma County Commissioner Myles Davidson.
“He hasn’t been forthcoming with freedom of information, The Freedom of Information Act,” Eason said. “He hasn’t provided us the things we’ve asked for. So, we want the grand jury to start asking. I don’t think he’ll turn them down.”
