Fields Case: Guitar Owner Wouldn't Press Charges
From The Oklahoman ~ State Labor Commissioner Lloyd Fields was not arrested for allegedly taking a guitar at a party Saturday night because the singer did not want to pursue charges, Oklahoma City police said Wednesday.
"The guy with the guitar didn't want to sign a complaint,” Police Chief Bill Citty told The Oklahoman. "If you have a victim that doesn't want to file the charges or file a report, then you don't have a crime. Period.”
Fields, 50, was allegedly drunk at the party thrown at the Cox Convention Center after a Professional Bull Riders Inc. competition Saturday night. Police decided not to arrest him for public intoxication. Instead officers took him to the city detox center, but refused to identify him by name.
The Oklahoman editorialized today that a publicly-funded entity like the detox center should provide public information on those who are sent there.
