KRMG has obtained documents that state Tulsa County Reserve Deputy Robert Bates had been using his own car for county operations.

The document, written by a TCSO Sergeant in 2008, claims Bates was allowed to put a Tulsa County issued radio, light bar and fog light on his own Dodge Charger.

The sergeant goes on to say that directly violates TCSO policy, especially since Bates only had a ‘Basic Certification.’

The sergeant writes that he doesn’t think TCSO should allow Bates to use his own car for county use.

He adds that the office deliberately hired Bates despite his not having proper training and continues its ‘indifference’ by allowing him to equip his personal car for office use.
