NORMAN, Okla. ( KFOR ) — A new lawsuit says video backs up claims the “Cookie Queen,” Shannon Hanchett, was abused while in the Cleveland County Jail.
The revised lawsuit alleges Cleveland County Detention Officers and Turn Key Health Clinics staff refused care, falsified records and mocked Hanchett as she went through a mental health crisis.
38-year-old Shannon Hanchett was arrested at a cell phone store in November of 2022.
Her husband, Daniel Hanchett, filed a federal lawsuit earlier this year, but a federal judge ruled there wasn’t enough proof to move forward.
Now weeks later, an amended complaint outlines new evidence.
“It’s been a huge loss for this entire community, but I think that also what’s been so hard is that we have seen no justice for her,” said Kate Bierman Day, a close friend.
The lawsuit names the Cleveland County Sheriff, the jails healthcare provider, three jail mental health professionals and references video footage that is not available to the public.
