Roland's suspended town administrator has been named as a suspect in an affidavit for an August search warrant served after a former female prisoner alleged she had sexual contact with the administrator while she was in the town's jail.
According to the affidavit for a search warrant, which was requested Aug. 14 and filed Aug. 30, investigators with the Sequoyah County Sheriff's Department seized various items in Charlie Day's town office, where the inmate alleged she and Day had sex. Among the items seized included furniture cushion covers, a digital camera, a desktop computer and equipment, as well as other digital media.
Roger Fuller, sheriff's investigator, requested the search warrant after meeting with the alleged victim on Aug. 13 in reference to alleged sexual misconduct with a Roland town employee.
The woman told Fuller that she was an inmate in Roland when the incidents took place. The woman alleged that she and Day had sex twice on the couch in his office. She told Fuller that Day provided her with a digital camera so that she could take pictures of herself for him, and she alleged that Day provided her with a photos of his genitals, according to the affidavit.
The woman alleges that Day took her across the state line to Wal-Mart in Van Buren, Ark., and took her out to the Roland City Lake on several occasions starting in June.
On July 5, she said she was also allowed her to go to a senior citizen's residence to assist in preparing food for a political function for Cherokee Nation Chief Chad Smith, and on the same day, she also worked as a server in plain clothes at a political function at the town complex.
The woman told Fuller that she agreed to have sex with Day because she felt that it would allow her to stay in the city jail instead of being transferred to the county jail and that it would earn her extra privileges as an inmate.
According to the affidavit, the woman, who is no longer being held in the jail, said that Day had left voice messages on her cell phone saying that he loved her.
The case has been submitted to the Sequoyah County District Attorney's Office for review. Day was the only town employee named in the affidavit.
No charges have been filed against Day, who reportedly put himself on administrative leave following the search of his office. On Friday the town council voted to suspend day from his duties as interim administrator without pay. Mayor Monty Lenington would not comment on the reasons for the suspension.
The district attorney's office will determine if any or what charges will be filed. Kyle Waters, assistant district attorney, said last week that the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation indicated it would be another two weeks before their testing on seized items was complete.
Day, who has been the town's longtime code enforcement officer, was given the added duties of interim town administrator in May after the town council fired the former administrator, James Webb.
