Between the hours of approximately 9pm through 12am on Saturday 01/17/2026, the local Mahindra dealership in Poteau was hit hard by thieves. Stolen were the 6 Polaris Northstar UTVs pictured. The individuals in question gained access to the facility and drove the UTVs out of the property where the property meets Old Wister Highway. We are following up on all leads, but if anyone was in the area during this time and saw anything suspicious, or if you happen to see or hear anything that may be beneficial to our investigation, please call (918) 647-2317. We also had a theft on the north end of the county recently with the same brand and style of UTV. It is unclear at this time if the two thefts are related.

We had the honor of attending the 2025 Oklahoma Sheriff’s Association annual award banquet last night. Four of our own outstanding deputies earned the Medal of Valor.

This incident stemmed from a shots fired call that turned into a barricaded subject. Even with the subject telling our deputies that he was going to shoot them, these men showed tremendous courage in achieving a resolution that resulted in no injuries or casualties.

Congratulations to Deputy Michael Draper, Sergeant Wes Wiles, Lieutenant Paul Moss and Captain Gerald Woodral.
