OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – It’s an all too familiar story in Oklahoma.
Anthony Logan spent ten years in prison for a crime he says he did not commit.
In an interview this week with KFOR, the man said he bought a car at an auction more than thirty years ago.
Sitting at his kitchen table, he pointed to a copy of a car title and receipt of purchase.
“This document right here is the proof of sales from Metro Wrecking Service,” he said, as he spread out several more documents around the table.
While he said the documents point to his innocence, after an arrest for driving without a valid license, he was eventually charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and concealing stolen property.
Unfortunately for Logan, he’d been previously convicted of two other felonies.
He shook his head in disbelief.
“I thought it was some type of mistake. It had to be some kind of mistake,” he said.
Logan spent more than a year in a county jail before his case went to trial, where police and prosecutors maintained the car was stolen.
