Deputy Justin Sumner Charged with Shooting out Lights


A Craig County, Oklahoma deputy is charged with felony destruction of property.

Justin Sumner is charged in neighboring Delaware County with two counts of maliciously defacing property of another.

Sumner is accused of shooting and damaging lights on the Arrowhead Yacht Club sign and shooting and damaging a power transformer.

The incident happened in late January and according to court documents, a security guard witnessed someone shooting the lights out.

That security guard told police he followed the suspect vehicle from the Yacht Club into Craig County.

Along the way, the witness told investigators he saw another Craig County deputy, and confirmed it was Sumner’s vehicle.

Sumner has plead not guilty to the charges and will be back in court in April.
