Frontier: Woman Sues Former Rogers County DA, Husband

A woman whose story was featured in a December series by The Frontier has filed a multimillion dollar federal civil lawsuit against the former Rogers County District Attorney and her husband, alleging they orchestrated a scheme to use her to cause a scandal for Sheriff Scott Walton.

Diana Thurman filed a lawsuit this week in federal court in the Northern District of Oklahoma that alleges former Rogers County District Attorney Janice Steidley and her husband used Thurman and her jailed son as pawns in a scheme to embarrass Walton, whom they viewed as a political enemy.

Thurman’s story was detailed in a three-part series in December by The Frontier, “Rogers County Hustle.”
