Coffee Says OSBI May Join Stolen File Probe

From www.okinsider.com ~ A Senate investigation into the matter (of a file stolen from the Capitol office of Senator Harry Coates) is currently under way, and the matter has been reported to the Attorney General's Office. Coates said that they are reviewing surveillance footage to see if anything turns up.

In a separate press conference on the same day, Senate Co-President Pro Tempore Glenn Coffee, R-Oklahoma City, said that Coates had "asked that we make some internal investigations to find out what's going on, and I believe he has also spoken with the attorney general."

"I absolutely am concerned if we have security issues within members' offices," Coffee said. "That's not something that we take lightly, and we will certainly address aggressively."

Coffee stated that, for the moment, he and President Pro Tempore Mike Morgan, D-Stillwater, are just trying to figure out what has happened internally, though he suggested that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation might get involved.
