Andy Delbert Mannon of Vian was released on a $10,000 bond on Aug. 30 from the Sequoyah County Jail. Mannon was arrested Aug. 30 after he and neighbor Sparkle Curran, 31, had an altercation over a fence.
John David Luton, first assistant district attorney, filed the application to revoke Mannon’s bond to insure Curran’s safety after he became aware of an event that took place involving Mannon.
According to court records Mannon stood outside of Curran’s home Tuesday and was threatening Curran’s life. Mannon was also throwing rocks at her house and reportedly said he intended to, “Kill the ______.”
Amanda Grizzle, victim and witness coordinator for the district attorney’s office, said the application to revoke bond would be presented to Special District Judge Dennis Sprouse. Sprouse will make the determination to revoke Mannon’s bond based on the facts presented. She said if the bond is revoked then a warrant for Mannon’s arrest will be issued.
According to the report filed Aug. 30 with the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s office, Curran told deputies that Mannon was trying to push down the fence surrounding her property where she keeps her horses. Curran said she went outside to stop him from letting her horses get out. She told deputies that Mannon struck her in the left elbow with a piece of fence pipe. Curran said that Mannon kicked her in the rear and pushed her into the fence causing her to cut her arm.
Curran told deputies that when she started yelling for her husband to help Mannon told her, “Go ahead and yell I’ll go home and get my gun.”
After the Aug. 30 incident between Mannon and Curran, Curran filed for an emergency protective order. According to personnel in the Sequoyah County Court Clerk’s office, a judge denied the protective order because Mannon is not a person related to Curran and the order being requested did not meet statutory requirements.
Luton explained that the emergency protective order which Curran was requesting is limited to people living within the same house, people who are or where dating and family members or stalkers.
According to the application to revoke bond for Mannon, “The purpose of bond is not only to ensure the defendants appearance at trial but also to protect the public from the defendant. Clearly, the serious threats made by the defendant to the victim indicate the public’s safety and certainly that of the victims are at risk from the defendant.”
Mannon has a preliminary hearing scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 13 in Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw.

What one says they are going to do and what they actually do are two different thing. Everyone wants to blame the system when things get kinked. Everyone grab a gun and the problem will be solved. I don't think so. The system is us. the laws are set to follow, not bend for any given situation. Grabbing a gun won't fix anything. There are right ways to get this guy out of the picture and it sounds like the people who do know the law are working on it.

So there is no law to protect someone against threats and assaults unless it's family? This is a scary thought. Our justice system is a joke but there is a way to take care of the problem yourself. If you are threatened bodily harm, do whatever you have to in order to protect yourself in fear of your life. You don't need the law to protect you. Just have a gun and know how and when to use it.

If they turn this man lose he will try to kill her or her children this time. I hope that he stays locked up so that a normal citzen of this county can sit in her own front yard and not have to worry abotu being shot, murdered or harassed.
