When journalists arrived in Oilton, Oklahoma to serve the police chief with a protective order banning him from possessing firearms, they never expected the town's convicted felon mayor to physically confront them in broad daylight. What unfolded reveals a web of corruption that reaches from City Hall to the police department, all captured on camera as it happened.
The Protective Order That Changes Everything
Police Chief Irvon Carl Stout faces an active protective order issued out of Tulsa County that explicitly prohibits him from possessing firearms. The order, obtained by Gorilla Publishing, clearly states that Stout must "turn over his guns to law enforcement." For a police chief whose job requires carrying a weapon, this creates an impossible legal situation that the city has apparently chosen to ignore.
The protective order stems from allegations involving a pattern of concerning behavior toward women that spans multiple jurisdictions and decades. Documents show Stout has worked across various police departments, leaving behind a trail of complaints and allegations wherever he goes.
Mayor's Violent Confrontation Exposes City's Priorities
Mayor Patrick Kennedy's reaction when confronted about his police chief's gun ban was swift and telling. The mayor, who was convicted of felony embezzlement from the same city he now leads, physically approached the journalists while declaring he "doesn't give a damn" about the protective order or his chief's history.
Kennedy, who served three years on paper for stealing money from Oilton, was somehow reelected by voters despite his criminal conviction. His aggressive defense of Stout raises questions about what City Hall really knows about their police chief's background and why they continue to employ him.
The Cover-Up Attempt at City Hall
When journalists presented the protective order to city staff, the response revealed a coordinated effort to downplay the severity. The city clerk contacted City Attorney Adam Heaven of Rosenstein, Fist and Ringold, who allegedly cited obscure statutes about service requirements rather than addressing the core issue: their police chief is legally prohibited from carrying the weapon his job requires.
Staff confirmed they would notify the mayor and police chief, but the casual nature of their response suggests this isn't the first time they've had to manage Carl Stout's legal troubles.
A Pattern Spanning Multiple Jurisdictions
Investigation reveals Stout's ability to move between departments and jurisdictions has allowed him to escape consequences for years. When problems arise in one county, he simply relocates to another department where his history isn't immediately known. This jurisdictional shuffle has enabled him to continue working in law enforcement despite mounting complaints.
The protective order represents the first time Stout faces consequences in Tulsa County, where he cannot manipulate the system through local connections. Court documents show a clear pattern of behavior that raises serious questions about his fitness to serve.
Questions That Demand Answers
