FORMER COMANCHE COUNTY DETENTION OFFICER ARRESTED FOR 2ND DEGREE RAPE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMANCHE COUNTY, Okla. (August 5, 2022) - Special Agents from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) arrested Kevin Warren Buttler (12/31/1973) after a female inmate reported being sexually violated by the former detention officer.

The OSBI investigation began at the request of the Comanche County Sheriff’s Office on July 25, 2022 after the inmate reported the incident to jail staff the day before. The inmate stated that Buttler came into her cell to deliver lunch. While inside her cell, he unzipped his pants, pulled out his genitals and motioned for her to come over to him and perform a sexual act. She was performing the sexual act for about five seconds when Buttler heard a noise and zipped up his pants. The inmate’s cellmate was present during the incident.

Buttler was questioned by OSBI Special Agents on August 4, 2022 at the Comanche County Sheriff’s Office. After being interviewed, he was arrested and booked into the jail. He is facing a charge of Second Degree Rape.

We will not stand by as our brothers and sisters are brutalized, criminalized, and silenced.

We reject a world where the powerful profit from our poverty and our lives are treated as expendable. We will not wait for justice to be handed down from above.
We will organize, resist, and take it for ourselves.

WE ARE NO LONGER ASKING...

Oklahoma Open Records Act

Title 51 Oklahoma Statutes § 24A.1 et seq.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that public has access to all public records of governmental bodies. Section 24A.2 defines records as "all documents, including, but not limited to, any book, paper, photograph, microfilm, data files created by or used with computer software, computer tape, disk, and record, sound recording, film recording, video record or other material regardless of physical form or characteristic, created by, received by, under the authority of, or coming into the custody, control or possession of public officials, public bodies, or their representatives in connection with the transaction of public business, the expenditure of public funds or the administering of public property." This specifically includes all records of the transfer of public funds.

According to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, anyone may request public records and no statement of purpose is required. However, if the purpose is commercial, fees will be charged for document collection. There is no restriction on the use of records and the law does not specify a time limit for responses to requests.
