OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Two former Oklahoma jail employees and their supervisor face misdemeanor cruelty charges after investigators found they forced inmates to stand handcuffed for hours and listen to the childrens song Baby Shark on repeat, a prosecutor said Monday.
At least four inmates were secured to a wall with their hands cuffed behind them while the song played on a loop at a loud volume for hours, The Oklahoman reported. The separate incidents occurred in November and December, according to court records.
The misdemeanor charges were filed Monday against former Oklahoma County jail employees Gregory Cornell Butler Jr. and Christian Charles Miles, both 21, and their supervisor, Christopher Raymond Hendershott, 50.
It was unfortunate that I could not find a felony statute to fit this fact scenario, Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said. I would have preferred filing a felony on this behavior.

It was punishment for bad behavior though...so what’s the issue?
“baby shark” is now torture?
Well.... can Parents sue their children, with Mattel and other toy companies as co-defendants?
Bay Bee Shark.
Do do do do. Do do do doo.
(Repeat all day)
Only a democrat would consider it a felony.
This would not affect me, because I hear this continuously anyway, even if it is not playing nearby.

Don't go to bed with no price on your head,
Don't do it.
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
Keep your eye on the sparrow,
When the going gets narrow.
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price,
Don't do it.
Don't run your feet down a dead-end street.

Don't start nuthin won't be nuthin...
This is not cruelty and it wouldnt matter if it was.
Cruelty would have been playing Celine Dion music at top volume.
LOL, so they couldn’t put their fingers in their ears!!!!!
Cue the graphic from “A Clockwork Orange”!
I nearly go off the road when I see a “Kars for Kids” billboard with just the words and a few musical notes painted there...
The dirty scum.
In college I had a roommate that sang “This Old Man” for 2 hours straight, just to drive me nuts.
I tried to kick his @$$ but he was a state wrestling champion, and I....wasn’t.
imagine if they had been forced to listen to Kamala harris on a loop!
ROFL
More like cruel and unusual punishment.
I didn’t realize that former Nationals player Gerardo Parra was working in Oklahoma.
I thought he was playing baseball in Japan

I also had a college roommate that was a state wrestling champion.
Just for fun I would occasionally try to jump him.
He’s generally pin and totally disable me inside three seconds.
Back in the 70’s or 80’s it was severe punishment to listen to Barney the purple dinosaur over and over.
Hmm.
I would have chosen Yoko Ono records instead.
Cruelty would have been playing Celine Dion music at top volume.
Couldn’t agree more. Either her or “Hey Jude” by the Beatles..
