Stitt Worked Extra Hard To Get Sara Polston Out Of Jail…

The Sara Polston early-release scandal has somehow gotten even more infuriating.

Back in May, a grand jury report found that Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt used his power, influence and “close personal friend” status to help Sara Polston – the politically connected Norman woman who drove drunk, nearly killed Micaela Borrego, and then served only 73 days of an eight-year prison sentence – get sprung from prison and placed on GPS monitoring.

At the time, Stitt – better known as "The Guy" – dismissed the whole thing as “political gossip,” insisted he did “zero favors” for Polston, and wanted everyone to believe it was all just a big coincidence that a wealthy donor, fundraiser host and family friend received the type of criminal justice concierge service that’s somehow never available to poor people without the governor’s cell number.

Well, so much for that.

Last night, the grand jury released more details that seem to confirm shady shenanigans were afoot.

Via The Oklahoman:

Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury found Gov. Kevin Stitt called his friend and donor Rod Polston on Feb. 11 just two hours before Polston's wife was approved for early release from prison on an ankle monitor.

In a new report, grand jurors said the call was one of 16 that Stitt made to Rod Polston after Sara Polston pleaded guilty on Oct. 1, 2025, to a drunken driving offense. The calls lasted from two seconds to nearly 20 minutes.

Grand jurors characterized the phone calls as new evidence that "deepens our concerns" about the political favoritism surrounding Sara Polston's release just 73 days into her eight-year prison sentence.

They said "this new information does not prove any criminal wrongdoing on the part of Governor Stitt" but "the public has the right to know all the pertinent evidence ... in order to arrive at the most informed personal opinions possible."

Yep, totally normal stuff.

The governor just happened to call his old buddy 16 times after his wife pleaded guilty, including once two hours before she got approved for early release. I’m sure they were just talking Thunder, swapping brisket recipes and debating whether Oklahoma should rank 49th or 50th in another quality-of-life metric.

Naturally, Stitt tried to distance himself from the news.

At the same time the grand jury report was being released, he summoned StittGPT to write a lengthy news-style post accusing Gentner Drummond of helping vanish $180 million in opioid settlement funds through a shady backroom deal with former Purdue Pharma employees.

Really? That’s the best he could come up with for a response attack?

Who knows, maybe there’s smoke to his conveniently set response fire, but if Stitt really wants to hit Gentner Drummond over shady influence-peddling, shouldn’t he focus on the time Gentner pulled strings for that asshole cop who killed Lich Vu? At least that’s in the same zip code as the Polston scandal.

Instead, Stitt is suddenly screaming about old Purdue Pharma settlement drama. Come on, Stitt! We expect better deflection from you.

Anyway, I don’t have anything too new to say about this that hasn’t already been said since we first broke the story about Sara’s seemingly preferential treatment over three years ago. It’s a sad, infuriating story, and we shouldn’t forget about the real victim in all this – Micaela Borrego.

If you want to support her recovery, you can donate to the GoFundMe here.

In the meantime, we’ll continue to follow this sad case and provide updates when and if they become available.
