OK County Sheriff in Disturbing Audio Sued Over Man’s Death

For more than a year, Barbara Barrick didn’t know the details of how and why her husband Bobby was killed while in custody of Oklahoma law enforcement.

“We had no answers. There was no investigation. I was contacted by no entity of the law,” Barbara told The Daily Beast in an interview on Thursday—the same day that she filed a lawsuit against the McCurtain County Sheriff, the county’s board of commissioners, and a state game warden. “I just felt like I was kind of alone out here, and nobody was talking to me or giving me any information about what happened to my husband.”

The complaint comes on the heels of state officials suspending McCurtain County Sheriff Kevin Clardy and two of his underlings over racist and violent comments caught on tape. A county commissioner allegedly involved in the disturbing discussion also resigned on Wednesday as the controversy continues to make national headlines.
