A three-hour emergency town meeting in Boshi, Oklahoma stretched past 8:30 PM as city commissioners deliberated behind closed doors whether to fire Police Chief Joey Oliver. What began as a routine agenda item became a marathon session when evidence of Oliver's criminal history and alleged abuse surfaced.
The meeting drew hundreds of viewers to a live broadcast as residents and journalists documented the proceedings. By evening's end, commissioners had postponed their decision until the following day, despite receiving testimony from victims and reviewing extensive documentation of Oliver's misconduct.
The Pattern That Follows Him Everywhere
Joey Oliver represents what investigators call a "gypsy cop," bouncing between seven different departments over 17 years while running from allegations of abuse and wrongdoing. His current position in Boshi came after previous departments quietly let him resign rather than face termination for cause.
Court records reveal a disturbing pattern. Oliver has faced protective orders, violated those same protective orders resulting in convictions, and been charged with theft. Most shocking is a family court order from his son's divorce case explicitly stating that minor children cannot be around Oliver unless one of the parents is present.
The restriction extends to Oliver's own grandchildren. His son agreed to the protective measure, suggesting even family members recognize the danger Oliver poses to children.
The Night That Changed Everything
The most serious allegations center on an incident where Oliver allegedly assaulted a 19-year-old woman after providing her with excessive amounts of alcohol. According to police reports, Oliver admitted to investigators that he gave the victim alcohol while she was underage, then attempted to assault her while she was severely intoxicated.
The victim's account, corroborated by witness testimony, describes Oliver pursuing her as she fled to a bathroom and locked the door. His girlfriend at the time reportedly discovered Oliver naked in the hallway, attempting to force entry to continue the assault.
When the primary witness failed to appear in court, charges were dropped despite Oliver's own admissions in the police report.
The Family Court Order Nobody Expected
Perhaps most disturbing is a revelation that emerged during the investigation. Oliver's son Stetson, himself a former reserve officer, agreed to court-ordered restrictions preventing his father from being alone with his children. The protective order stemmed from documented incidents of domestic violence witnessed by the grandchildren.
According to testimony provided during the meeting, Oliver's pattern of abuse extended throughout his family. Witnesses described incidents where Oliver urinated on his wife as a form of humiliation before physically assaulting her in front of young children.
Audio recordings allegedly capture Stetson Oliver threatening to kill family members, including an eight-year-old child, while pointing a firearm at them.
The Evidence Keeps Mounting
The investigation uncovered additional troubling details about Oliver's conduct both on and off duty. Witnesses report seeing Oliver in possession of drug paraphernalia while in uniform, specifically describing him concealing what appeared to be a crack pipe during an encounter at a trailer.
Financial irregularities also plague the department Oliver leads. The city has not undergone an audit in seven years, and thousands of dollars in unpaid water bills from friends and family members of city officials suggest a broader pattern of corruption.
During executive session, commissioners heard directly from one of Oliver's victims, though the content of her testimony remains sealed. The session stretched for nearly two hours as officials grappled with the mounting evidence.
The Decision That Never Came
The full story of what happened behind those closed doors won't be revealed until you watch the complete footage of this unprecedented three-hour standoff.
