Appeal Filed Over Wichita Mountains Refuge Jurisdiction

A petition was filed Tuesday in Oklahoma City to reverse a Comanche County ruling that the state and county officials have no law enforcement jurisdiction in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Judge John P. Fullerton held that federal designation and Oklahoma’s constitution negate state authority in the area. The case stems from 12 Lawton teens charged with outraging public decency related to an alleged raid on a Girl Scout camp in the refuge. The appeal, by County Attorney Warren Crane, seeks reversal of the demurrer ruling and to restore state and local prosecutorial options. Defendants include Don Ralph Cline and 11 others named in the two charges.
