A coordinated effort involving the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) and the Atoka County Sheriff's Office led to the disruption of a major contraband delivery and the arrest of three individuals attempting to smuggle illicit items into the Howard McLeod Correctional Center (HMCC) on May 19, 2025.
ODOC Office of Inspector General (OIG) Criminal Interdiction Division (CID) Agents Robertson and Stubblefield received a tip about an impending contraband drop.
Information indicated a silver Ford truck was involved in the area at the time of the drop. Soon after, Atoka County Sheriff's deputies located a silver Ford truck broken down on Highway 3 and CenterPoint Road, occupied by two males and one female. Deputies secured the scene until ODOC agents arrived.
