Muldrow man arrested after property damage, indecent exposure
By AMIE CATO-REMER EDITOR

A Sequoyah County man was arrested after deputies said he caused extensive property damage at two residences, exposed himself in public and then attempted to evade law enforcement.

Jester C. McKinney, 38, of Muldrow, was charged on Aug. 13 with malicious injury to property over $1,000, and, if found guilty of the charge, could face imprisonment for up to two years or a fine not exceeding $1,000, or both, according to District Attorney Jack Thorp.

Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s deputy Charles McGee reported he was dispatched to a property near Muldrow at around 8:10 a.m. on Aug. 8 after receiving reports of vandalism.

When McGee arrived, he met with a woman who told deputies she awoke to the sound of breaking glass and initially thought her dogs were responsible. Upon investigation, she said she saw a man identified as McKinney walking away from the scene.

When she confronted him, McKinney allegedly accused her of killing a family member who was inside the home asleep at the time of the incident.

The woman also reported that several windows at her residence had been shattered, along with the windshield of her Tahoe and the back glass of a family member’s vehicle. She told deputies she wanted to pursue charges.

McGee then met with the woman’s brother, who lives on the same property. The brother told deputies that McKinney had been staying in a shed on his property and had destroyed several items inside, including antique beer mugs, furniture and a television.

He also reported that four vehicles on his property had their windows broken out, and requested to press charges.

Around 11:45 a.m., dispatch received another call from a resident in the area who reported a man, wearing only a purple shirt, had come to her door asking for water. She was advised to lock her doors until deputies arrived.

Shortly afterward, deputies located McKinney back at the brother’s residence. When McGee arrived, he observed McKinney running before hiding in a bush. After being ordered out, he complied and was taken into custody.

Deputies reported that at the time of his arrest, McKinney was wearing a purple basketball- style jersey pulled down to cover the lower half of his body and black women’s-style underwear.

McKinney was booked into the Sequoyah County Detention Center and served with a protective order instructing him not to return to the witness’ property.
