Oklahoma Candidate Remains in Jail

Oklahoma state Senate candidate Fred E. Ray Smith (R) was arrested and jailed over the weekend for failure to appear in court for outstanding child support payments, the Oklahoman reports.

But he’s still in jail, explained campaign manager and fiance SunShine Fox: “He is currently still in jail because our money has been going to campaigning, so he will serve the time he needs to serve until we can get funds to get him out. The fact is we should have found other resources to possibly pay that.”
