Tulsa Police Officer Charged With Violating Protective Order Placed On Desk Duty

A Tulsa police officer charged with violating a protective order is on desk duty until the case is resolved.

The woman who filed the protective order asked a judge Tuesday to make it permanent.

The judge continued the case but did clear several hours for her calendar because attorneys for each side said they could call six, up to 10 witnesses for the case.

That hearing will happen in December. 

Until then, the protective order filed by Emily O'Banion remains in effect against Tulsa Police officer Toni Hill.

Hill had filed one against O'Banion in February, saying O'Banion was the ex-girlfriend of Hill's current girlfriend and had sent threatening texts and phone calls and showed up at her home, but, the judge dismissed it for insufficient evidence.

O'Banion filed a protective order against Officer Hill September 7, 2016, that accused her of pointing a Taser and a gun at her and harassing her and her kids for two years.

Records show O'Banion has been on one side or the other of a protective order in four different counties.

"Miss O'Banion has a very troubled history and from all the information I've gathered, was terminated twice for theft and narcotics use," said Hill's attorney, Shannon McMurray. 

She said they plan to clear Hill's name, who's been on the force more than 20 years.

"Antonia Hill is a long-time civil servant, decorated, with no issues until her encounters with Miss O'Banion," McMurray said. 

O'Banion's attorney released a statement to News On 6 that says:

"We are surprised and perplexed that the defense would make such untruthful, reckless and irresponsible statements about Ms. O'Banion.

"Apparently, they feel the need to improperly try this case in the court of public opinion. We, on the other hand, are going to allow the process to appropriately take place in the proper forum - a court of law. This matter is very serious especially considering multiple victims are involved, including children."

News On 6 first covered O'Banion in 2005 when she was a paramedic in Oologah and was stabbed six times by an addict demanding morphine. He was convicted and later died in prison.
