NATION, Page 65American NotesOKLAHOMAThe Law and Love County
The jamboree last weekend in Love County, Okla., was merry but
with a sober purpose: raising money for the defense of Sheriff
Wesley Liddell Jr., 47, and his son-in-law, Marietta policeman
Roger Ray Hilton, 27. The two are charged with scheming to kidnap
a suspected north Texas drug dealer and torture him with an
electric curling iron to elicit information.
Tipped off, federal agents taped the two men plotting the
abduction. They were arrested in May and are due to be tried next
month. County residents were shocked. Said a friend, Jane Lake:
"It's hard to understand why drug dealers get protection and the
sheriff gets arrested."
