Is "The District" a Kitchell club?
Tulsa World:
QuoteTwo men were booked into the Tulsa Jail on Monday after a weekend night club drive by in Jenks where men shot at a crowd of 35-40 people, records show.
No was injured in the attack early Sunday morning at The District, a nightclub on the Jenks RiverWalk in the 500 block of Riverside Terrace, according to jail records.
Jenks police report two men drove by the club as a crowd was outside and fired five to six shots about 2:11 a.m.
Kerreyeh Harrison, 23, and Paul Stallings, 25, were booked into the Tulsa Jail on Monday evening on one complaint each of shooting with intent to kill.
Their bonds were set at $75,000.
Harrison and Stallings were arrested on allegations that they shot at the crowd after being kicked out of The District earlier in the night, police report.
The same security guards that kicked them out prior to the alleged Sunday morning shooting saw them later at a Sapulpa club and called police, records show.
The security guards called police to a club at Town West Shooping Center near 49th West Avenue and Interstate 44 where they apparently worked after finishing at The District, jail records indicate.

Why are they in the Tulsa jail? Shouldnt they be in the Jenks jail?
Drive by shooting, I think that's compulsory behavior at a Kitchell club. I can't believe that POS is still slithering around Tulsa.

If you go out there on a weekend night, TCSO helps Jenks police patrol the area. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Tulsa annexed the Riverwalk, because Jenks could not provide the support it needed...correct me if I'm wrong. Also, across the river on the other side of the bridge, the Quiktrip on 96th and Riverside temporarily closes (they put barricades at all the entrances) around the 2 a.m. hour since that is the time those clubs close and crime rates at that particular gas station go up since it's the nearest open late night convenience store. I pick up Jenks police on my scanner and they always have a ton of radio activity at night and 70% of their calls end up being Riverwalk related. You can not police a city if you have one little spot on the map taking up most of your time away from the rest of the tax paying public...that is why TCSO is there.
They likely are in the Tulsa jail because it's the Tulsa County Jail.
Could be wrong, but I don't believe Jenks, BA, Bixby, Owasso, Sand Springs, et al have much more than holding cells or drunk tanks. Guys like this would go to the DL Moss where they've got adequate personnel and facilities.
Good lord, so much misinformation.
First off, yes this is owned by the piece of crap Kitchell.
Second, Jenks has some holding cells, but for detainees there for more than just drunk tank issues or simple municipal charges the "Tulsa Jail" is the Tulsa COUNTY Jail and serves the whole county not just the city of Tulsa. Jenks is in Tulsa County. The Riverwalk is in the city of Jenks, it has not been annexed by the city of Tulsa, and won't be. Tulsa COUNTY Sheriff officers being there has nothing to do with the CITY of Tulsa.
The city of Jenks is working hard to close this place down but they lost the last round in Tulsa County Court.

You beat me to it.
This kind of confusion frustrates me, like when people were outraged with Kathy Taylor over the fairground's treatment of Bell's.
How does it work swake?
Tulsa County Sherriff arrest: Held in HL Moss and no city entity is billed
TPD arrest: Held in HLM and COT is billed $54 per person per diem
JPD arrest: Option to transfer to HLM and COJ America is billed $?? pppd?

The city of Jenks is billed if they are held on city charges. I'm not guessing that a drive by is a city charge.
I know its off topic, but since COJ has a jail to hold drunks or other municiple offenders I would think that it is rare that they transfer inmates to HLM on city charges and I could assume they probably rarely pay the county.
COT on the other hand traded in our outdated jail for HLM so we pay for all of our city inmates to be held there. HLM is our city jail and it is the county jail.

How about cooling your heels with new seat covers (shoes)?
Color me confused. I thought crime only happened in downtown & north Tulsa???

Drive-bys are state felony charges. There's no such thing as a municipal felony. That's why they're in Moss. Their court appearances will be in Tulsa County.
It's interesting that this happened so quickly after Kitchell got the restraining order stopping the City of Jenks from shutting this club down.
His clubs need Oklahoma Tax Commission officials manning the doors, charging a $10/head tax for admission.
If it is that kind of place, then all the people there are pretty much the same as these guys. In that case, put a big bullet stopping wall around the place and let them go at it. Would civilized society care??
In fact, maybe just arm everyone there and shut the front gate and don't come back for a week. Problem solved??
The only thing missing is a late night Chicken Hut.
That sounds like profiling doesnt it ?
My bad.....dang it ! did it again.

In the last 20 years, has Kitchell owned/run a place that didn't have a problem?

There were shootings at the last place he had downtown...whatever Flytrap was at the time.
It's the "18 and up" crap.
The whole thing is definately giving me a strong reason to skip going to Riverwalk. Sucks for the other businesses there.

IIRC didn't he run a place at
61st 71st and Lewis in the early 90's that was an 18 and up crowd that was nothing but trouble? Seems to me it was in the old Joker's Comedy Club location.

Dont pitty Jenks leadership, they knew what the score was when they grabbed the cash, and then thought they could keep it in check with periodic harassment.
I wouldn't blame this on Jenks leadership. From my conversations with people at the City of Jenks they knew exactly what was going to happen with these clubs and were nervous about it.
They can't control who Riverwalk decided to lease the space to. Blame Riverwalk and their lenders for choosing a short term bump in occupancy over long term stability of the development.

That is the most mind-boggling thing about Oklahoma's liquor laws. Responsible adults can't buy what they want when and where they want, but under-21 people can go to bars, as long as they only serve 3.2 beer.
If we're gonna have some of the country's most restrictive liquor laws, then how can we allow that?

3.2 beer is/was considered a "non-intoxicating" beverage.

Since then Jenks has been trying another strategy that sounds like something along the lines of assaulting an officer's fist with a face.
Seriously, there has to be a better solution than something out of Jersey Shore or Sopranos.
I can't how this can be blamed on Jenks?
Per Tulsa World:
QuoteJENKS - Nightclub manager Steve Kitchell was arrested early Sunday on accusations that he assaulted the police chief, who was conducting surveillance in the parking lot where people had gathered during a "Girls Gone Wild" event at Kitchell's club, the District.
QuoteCity Attorney Stephen Oakley said Police Chief Don Selle and Sgt. Rick Weaver were watching to see that there were no problems at the RiverWalk Crossing hangout. Although their vehicle was unmarked, Selle and Weaver were in full uniform, records show.
Selle stated in a police report that they observed a cameraman escorting young women in and out of a Girls Gone Wild motorhome.
"We did not see any security around the motorhome and were concerned for the safety of the girls who went inside and the patrons who were outside," he wrote.
"The windows and doors of the motorhome were completely covered so no one could see what was going on inside. We have been told inside this motor home is where the movies of naked girls were made."
Selle and Weaver reported that a driver of a pickup pulled up to the passenger side of their vehicle about 12:20 a.m. and blinded them with its bright lights for several minutes.
They asked Commander Paul Rinkel, who was in another patrol car, to see who was in the pickup and why the driver wouldn't turn off the lights.
Rinkel told them it was Kitchell and that he was filming them, Selle said.
Oakley said Selle and Weaver got out and approached Kitchell's vehicle. Weaver repeatedly asked Kitchell for his driver's license, but Kitchell reportedly refused on the grounds that he was on private property.
Weaver stated in a police report that Selle was shining a flashlight into the driver's side of the pickup. Kitchell then opened the door and got out "in an aggressive manner and walked towards Chief Selle, saying get that light off me," Weaver wrote.
Weaver stated that Selle backed up a couple of steps and that Kitchell kept advancing and then "swung or waved his arm towards Chief Selle striking the flashlight either in an attempt to knock the light out of Selle's hand or to cause the light to strike Chief Selle on the side of the head."
Weaver stated that he told Kitchell he was under arrest and attempted to handcuff him but that Kitchell asked him not to, saying he had a torn rotator cuff. Oakley said the officers linked two sets of handcuffs so that Kitchell's shoulders would not be as severely extended.
"We used two sets of handcuffs for Mr. Kitchell's comfort," Selle wrote. "At one point Mr. Kitchell said to me, 'Are you so desperate this is what it is coming to?' "
At the police station, Kitchell said he felt sick because his blood sugar was low, Weaver stated. Paramedics were called and found that Kitchell's blood sugar and blood pressure were elevated, so he was taken to SouthCrest Hospital in Tulsa, Weaver stated.
Once at the hospital, Kitchell was told that tests would have to be conducted, but Kitchell refused and had his wife pick him up, Oakley said.
Jenks police have submitted three complaints to the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office accusing Kitchell of obstructing a police officer, resisting arrest, and assault and battery on a police officer. He has not been charged.
Kitchell would not comment on the specifics of the complaints against him, but he said he doubts that he will be charged with anything.
"I think they're violating the restraining order the judge put against them," he said in reference to a previous ruling by Tulsa County District Judge Daman Cantrell. That ruling states that district court and not municipal court is the appropriate venue for requesting a revocation of the District's low-point beer license.
L.J.K. Investments LLC holds the club's license. Kitchell, who previously owned several clubs in Tulsa, is listed as its manager.
Jenks officials wanted to revoke the license, calling the club a public nuisance. Compliance checks at the club in December and March resulted in numerous municipal citations for the sale of beer to underage informants.
Kitchell said he's been doing Girls Gone Wild events at his clubs for 15 years.
"They come in the club and film, then make them into videos," he said.
Kitchell said he had never heard that women were being invited into the motorhome or that there was any filming or nudity there.
"As far as I know, it's just for the staff," Kitchell said of the motorhome. "I think the Jenks police are getting ready to get sued by Girls Gone Wild. Those are outrageous allegations, but that doesn't surprise me with the Jenks Police Department."
Kitchell said he and his attorney, Carl Hughes of Edmond, plan to ask for a grand jury investigation of the Jenks Police Department for alleged civil-rights violations.
"This has got to be stopped. It's out of control," Kitchell said of the police presence in the parking lot.
What a dirt bag.
And the police are out of control? Uh, yeah...

But because of their heavy-handedness, Kitchel is going to come out looking like the good guy in the harassment case.

then where do we draw the line *next time* ?

Just to be clear, who's inappropriate conduct are you referring to? Seems the officers behaved appropriately the entire time.
Honestly, with the kind of activity which has followed Kitchell throughout his 30+ year bar career, I can't blame the police for being on site. In reality, the landlord should be providing more on-site security in the parking lot.
As for me, as long as that doosh has a place on the Riverwalk, I won't be patronizing anyone out there. Hopefully the other merchants can put some pressure on the management company when they figure out they are losing revenue because people don't care to be the target of a stray bullet or encounter drunk 18 year olds in the parking lot.
Take a wild guess why Kitchell didn't want to have the tests done at the hospital.

Im not excusing the shenanigans at the Riverwalk, though, but it needed to be dealt with honestly and legally.

Here's the real story of Selle's retiring, but nice try.
Quote
Jenks Chief of Police Don Selle is retiring after more than 24 years of service, it was announced Monday.
City councilors honored Selle and congratulated him on embarking on what Selle called his "last great adventure."
Selle begins work July 1 as chief investigator for the State of Hawaii's Department of Human Services.
"We really don't have that many chips to offer" to encourage Selle to stay, joked Mayor Vic Vreeland.
Vreeland gestured with both hands as if weighing both locations. "Jenks? Hawaii?
"We will definitely miss him. He's done a fantastic job."
Selle said the decision wasn't necessarily a Jenks vs. Hawaii decision, but one of taking on a new challenge.
"I didn't want to be sitting in my rocking chair 20 years from now saying 'what if?'" the 61-year old Selle said.
