Ex-top Administrator Arrives to Testify before Grand Jury

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Another top administrator at an Oklahoma sheriff's office has arrived to testify before a grand jury investigating the agency after a volunteer deputy fatally shot an unarmed man.

Maj. Tom Huckeby was in district court Wednesday and declined to comment on his testimony or the case to the AP. It was unclear when he would testify Wednesday. The agency's undersheriff, Tim Albin, who resigned over the 2009 memo, was also expected in court.

Huckeby resigned after a leaked 2009 internal investigation showed that Albin and Huckeby knew that reserve deputy Robert Bates was inadequately trained but pressured officers in the department to ignore it.

Bates has left the force and is charged with second-degree manslaughter.
