By Mike McCarville
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater today disputed Don Hoover’s claim that his vehicle was illegally claimed via civil asset forfeiture.
Prater is among those who oppose changes in the forfeiture law.
Hoover is a retired political consultant.
Prater told The McCarville Report, “This is a perfect example of the lies being told about asset forfeiture in Oklahoma. Please see: Oklahoma County Case CV 2014-646. Not only did Don Hoover get notice, his attorney, Skip Kelly filed an answer to the petition. Both Don Hoover and his son Ross Hoover were served notice. I have attached the police report wherein, Hoover’s son Ross admitted that his father purchased the vehicle for him, but the vehicle was his (Ross’). He admitted to using the vehicle to facilitate his drug distribution. The vehicle was used to transport the marijuana after purchase to those who he sold the illegal narcotics to.
“This is a perfect example of the half-truths and lies that are being told about asset forfeiture in Oklahoma. I would appreciate you educating your readers of what the truth is in this case.”
