Since there were several inmates from different units that didn’t have contact with each other, it was decided to drug test them.
Of the 17 residents tested, 12 of them tested positive for THC, the affidavit said.
Residents told investigators that Doyle would bring in cannabis vape pens in a bible and have residents’ families Cash App him for the products, the affidavit said.
However, a review of data from Cash App didn’t reveal any transactions that indicated Doyle was receiving payments for the contraband.
Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law and Justice released a statement here about the additional charges.
Doyle is also named in the civil rights lawsuit that alleges he sexually assaulted and abused multiple kids in the detention center.
A warrant is out for Doyle’s arrest.
Tulsa County Juvenile Detention Officer Jonathan Hines was charged with human trafficking, possessing a cell phone in jail, and destroying evidence in April.
