Charged with six different criminal counts related to rape, Jimmy D. Teague, 60, of Roland was arraigned Wednesday in Sequoyah County District Court, Sallisaw.

Teague was charged April 16 in district court with forcible sodomy, attempted forcible sodomy, attempted first degree rape, and rape by instrumentation.

On April 13, Roland Assistant Police Chief Billy Cannon received a call from dispatch about a possible sexual assault that took place on Hillside Drive in Roland.

Cannon spoke with a woman who told him Teague had sexually assaulted her around 6 p.m. when Teague came to her residence and asked to use her telephone. Teague told the woman he couldn’t use his because his cell phone was out of minutes. The woman allowed Teague to come in and place a call on the telephone.

According to the report the victim told Cannon that after Teague used her phone she waited for him to leave but he never would. Teague allegedly became very violent, started pulling her hair and forced her to have sex with him.

The victim was taken to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw for a sexual assault examination and for medical attention. An investigator with the Roland Police Department met with Teague and Teague did not deny having sex with the victim but stated it was no one else’s business.

Teague’s bond is set at $100,000 and he has not been released. As of press time his bond has not been made and he is still being held at the Sequoyah County Jail, Sallisaw.


After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
