Sapulpa chief blasts Glanz’s ‘disrespectful’ letter on slain officer
Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz wrote a letter last week to Sapulpa Police Chief Rick Rumsey expressing condolences on the department’s loss of one of its officers.

The letter also offered to help the department during a difficult time.
