American Notes
OKLAHOMA
The Law and Love County
</hdr><body>
<p> 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.
</p>
<p> 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."
