Vaughn Cannon was taken into custody and later booked into the Canadian County Jail on a murder complaint.
We hurt today.
In the end, it’s not the years in the uniform that count; it’s the sacrifices made, the lives touched, and the legacy left behind.
We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Cleveland County Deputy Jordan Cannon, a brave officer who was senselessly murdered last night. This heinous act not only robs us of a dedicated and courageous public servant, but it also shakes the very foundations of the community she served. Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Cannon’s family, friends, and colleagues as they navigate through this unimaginable pain and grief.
We call on the community to come together, to support one another, and to honor the memory of this fallen hero by fostering a culture of respect, understanding, and cooperation. May she never be forgotten.
Early in her career, Deputy Jordan served the Okarche Community. Many will remember her dedication to the Okarche Public Schools, where she would be found most days reading to kids and keeping them safe. She was an outstanding example to us all.
You will be missed.
Okarche Chief of Police Forrest Smith
