Protestors have gathered outside the McCurtain County Commission offices Monday morning in Idabel as the commission convenes an emergency meeting.
The meeting is in response to audio of McCurtain Co. Sheriff Kevin Clardy, Commissioner Mark Jennings and several others allegedly made death threats to two reporters at the McCurtain County Gazette, a newspaper in the area.

A crowd began to gather at around 8 a.m., an hour before the meeting began, with protestors calling for the resignations of those involved.
In meeting now, Idabel Mayor Craig Young made a statement before meeting began, also calling for resignations of those heard on audio.
Neither Commissioner Jennings nor Sheriff Clardy are in attendance at the meeting.
