𝐃𝐔𝐈 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐒

On the evening of June 21, 2026, an Osage County Sheriff's Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a red Jeep Cherokee near Tulsa in Osage County after observing the vehicle repeatedly fail to maintain its lane of travel.

During the stop, deputies learned the driver did not possess a valid driver's license and the vehicle was not insured. Deputies also discovered a five-year-old child was riding in the back seat without being properly restrained in a child safety seat and was not wearing a seatbelt.

While speaking with the driver, deputies observed an open container of alcohol inside the vehicle. The driver admitted consuming alcohol prior to driving and agreed to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.

Based on the totality of the investigation, deputies determined the driver was impaired. A preliminary breath test indicated a BAC of 0.17, more than twice the legal limit.

The driver, identified as Mikah Mattie Marie Washington, was arrested and booked into the Osage County Jail on the following allegations:

▪️ Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
▪️ Child Endangerment
▪️ Failure to Properly Restrain a Child
▪️ Driving Under Suspension
▪️ Failure to Maintain Security Verification (Insurance)
▪️ Failure to Maintain Lane

After being advised of Oklahoma's Implied Consent Law, the defendant initially agreed to submit to the state's chemical test but later refused testing at the testing facility.

Driving under the influence places everyone on our roadways at risk, especially innocent children who rely on adults to make responsible decisions. The Osage County Sheriff's Office remains committed to removing impaired drivers from our roads and protecting the safety of our communities.

This is an arrest not a conviction.

𝐀𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐤 – 𝐌𝐢𝐝-𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞

As we move into the second half of 2026, I would like to provide an update on the status of operations within the Osage County Sheriff’s Office and share several projects that reflect steady, measurable progress in strengthening our infrastructure, improving operations, and enhancing our ability to serve the citizens of Osage County.

One of our primary areas of focus this year has been continued improvements to the Osage County Jail. Recently, we completed a large-scale kitchen plumbing construction project that addressed a significant portion of the facility’s original cast-iron plumbing system. Much of this aging infrastructure had deteriorated beyond its useful life and was no longer functioning properly. The project replaced critical sections of piping serving the kitchen area, and we have already seen substantial improvements in reliability and overall performance. Investing in our jail infrastructure remains essential to maintaining safe, efficient, and cost-effective operations.

Many residents may have noticed new construction taking place on the Sheriff’s Office grounds over the past several months. We have successfully completed two new buildings at the facility. The first, a smaller storage building, replaces a structure that was destroyed during the severe windstorm event last summer. By utilizing insurance funds from the loss of the original building, we were able to complete this project with minimal impact on county resources.

The second project is a new 7,500-square-foot multipurpose facility that will serve as overflow evidence storage for the Sheriff’s Office while also providing operational space for Osage County Emergency Management. This facility represents a significant investment in both public safety and emergency preparedness. We anticipate occupying the building alongside Emergency Management personnel before the end of the year.

Our School Resource Officer (SRO) Program successfully completed another school year and continues to grow through the dedication and professionalism of our deputies assigned to our schools. Every school district has unique needs, and we continually evaluate ways to improve services and strengthen partnerships with school administrators, teachers, students, and parents. Throughout the school year, our SRO deputies provided approximately 9,270 hours of service within Osage County schools. Their responsibilities extend far beyond the classroom, as they routinely attend athletic events, extracurricular activities, school functions, and community events to help ensure the safety and security of students, staff, and visitors. Their commitment has fostered positive relationships and strengthened trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve.

Our inmate work crew program continues to provide valuable service throughout Osage County. Trustee crews have assisted communities with cleanup projects, roadside litter removal, and a variety of labor-intensive tasks that benefit local residents. These crews have removed thousands of pounds of debris from county roadways while helping improve the appearance of our communities. The program not only provides a benefit to taxpayers but also offers inmates an opportunity to give back and contribute positively to the communities they have impacted.

Another significant issue we are actively addressing is the long-term water infrastructure serving the Osage County Jail and Sheriff’s Office. Reliable water service is critical to maintaining jail operations, particularly during maintenance periods, service interruptions, or emergencies affecting municipal water systems. Working alongside the Board of County Commissioners and the City of Pawhuska, we are exploring options to strengthen our water supply capabilities. One solution currently under consideration is the rehabilitation and reuse of an existing water tower near the Osage County Fairgrounds. If feasible, this project would provide additional water storage capacity and enhance operational resiliency for the jail and surrounding county facilities.

Technology improvements also remain a priority. We are actively pursuing grant opportunities to replace our aging body-worn camera system. While the current equipment has served us well, it is becoming outdated and will not adequately meet future operational, evidentiary, and transparency needs. Our goal is to equip all field deputies with modern body-worn cameras that improve accountability, strengthen evidence collection, and further enhance public trust in law enforcement.

The Osage County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to identifying opportunities for improvement while being responsible stewards of taxpayer resources. Whether through infrastructure upgrades, technology investments, school safety initiatives, or community service programs, our focus remains on delivering professional and effective public safety services to the citizens of Osage County.

As always, I remain committed to transparency, accountability, and meaningful progress. I am proud of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated every day by the men and women of the Osage County Sheriff’s Office. Their commitment to serving our citizens is what makes these accomplishments possible.

Thank you to the people of Osage County for your continued trust, support, and partnership as we work together to keep our communities safe.
