2008 arrests now published on JohnTV.com

1/22/08 -- Starting today, you can now track each and every prostitution related arrest in Oklahoma County on JohnTV.com (see left navigational menu under 'arrests').

In years past, a popular feature on JohnTV.com was an arrest section that detailed each and every person booked into the Oklahoma County jail for alleged acts of pandering, pimping, human trafficking, prostitution, public lewdness and indecency.

After receiving dozens of requests to continue the arrest section, we have now re-launched it with a couple of revisions.

The 2008 arrests section will continue to include the names and (when available) the mug shots of all men arrested.

However, JohnTV.com is removing the last name and mug shot link to females arrested.

JohnTV.com is also adding the home address of the arrested males and a link to the criminal trial.

JohnTV.com will also be adding information on what type of activity led to the individual's arrest (street, escort, massage parlor prostitution, etc.).

Finally, JohnTV.com is also keeping a running calculation of arrest statistics.

Video Vigilante aids in arrest of wanted felon after taping armed robbery

1/9/08 -- OKC, OK - A wanted felon is arrested for armed robbery and outstanding warrants after being videotaped by Oklahoma City's own Video Vigilante.

Brian Bates, aka the Video Vigilante and founder of JohnTV.com, was near SW 33rd and South Robinson Ave. Monday afternoon when he witnessed a known drug dealer becoming aggressive with a known street prostitute.

The drug dealer and convicted felon, David DuJuan Robinson, 31, backed the female victim, 40, into an alley and allegedly robbed her.

"Initially I thought I might be witnessing a drug deal or lewd act", said Bates. "But then it became obvious the woman was in distress and the man was searching her possessions and taking things," said Bates.

Bates then called 911 to report the suspicious activity.

"I wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but I knew the black male was not her pimp," said Bates.

Bates tells JohnTV.com that the woman, who has multiple street prostitution arrests and convictions, is pimped by convicted murderer, Thomas S. Wornick, 41.

According to the victim, Robinson threatened to stab her if she did not hand over her belongings.

The victim complied and Robinson returned to a Lincoln Towncar parked nearby.

Bates says a motorcycle officer arrived on scene very quickly and held the suspect at gun point while waiting for backup.

Bates left to find the victim and urged her to return to the scene to ensure the robber was arrested.

Robinson was found to have a knife and the victim's possessions on him when searched by police.

Robinson was also wanted for violation of a suspended sentence related to a drug conviction.

Robinson was transported to the Oklahoma County Jail, where he was booked in for armed robbery and violating his suspended sentence.

Robinson's Department of Corrections criminal resume includes convictions for armed robbery, drug possession and distribution.

Robinson has 11 interactions listed in Oklahoma County Court Clerk records.

Local News: Police report released in Deputy Dean arrest

1/1/08 -- OKC, OK - Oklahoma City police release the December 14 prostitution arrest report of Pottawatomie County Sheriff's deputy James R. Dean.

JohnTV.com broke the news of Deans arrest for engaging in an act of public sex with a known, and mentally handicapped, street prostitute to local media outlets two weeks ago after being tipped off by a JohnTV.com fan.

You can read the original article from JohnTV.com by clicking here.

According to the police report, Dean was arrested around noon after stopping for a known street prostitute that was observed "wav[ing] at several vehicles..."

Undercover officers then followed Dean and the prostitute. Dean reportedly parked on a dead end street, at a public park, at SE 39th and South Broadway.

When officers approached Dean's truck they reportedly witnessed the prostitute performing oral sex on Dean.

Further investigation led officers to believe Dean had agreed to pay the prostitute $20 in exchange for the sex act.

Dean and the prostitute were arrested and Dean's '96 Ford F250 was impounded.

Upon Dean's arrest, it was discovered he had in his possession .45 and .38 caliber handguns, ammunition and a tazer.

Dean was released from the Oklahoma County jail in record time after posting bond. The mentally handicapped prostitute, Leola S., remains in custody (now 19 days after being arrested).

According to the official police report, Dean was observed and arrested by members of the Oklahoma City Nuisance Abatement Unit (NAU).

Nuisance Abatement is a unit most Oklahoman's have probably never heard of, but their efforts, ability and willingness to positively impact our communities is immense.

The NAU investigates all nuisance crimes in the city, including but not limited to; street prostitution and properties being utilized to harbor and/or further individuals and/or groups involved in prostitution, gangs and drugs.

Most recently the NAU has been focusing their attention on South Robinson Ave. and the areas near SE 44th and Byers.

Unlike Oklahoma City Vice, it seems members of the NAU have gone out of their way to introduce themselves and solicit information and/or concerns from business owners and other community members in the neighborhoods they are working.
