Pittsburg County Sheriff McClendon Dies on Evening of Nov. 13, Just a Week After Winning Reelection
Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, Sheriff Frankie McClendon died on the evening of Nov. 13 while recovering from surgery, the Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association confirmed; County Commissioner Ross Selman also confirmed the death, and no official cause has been released. In the Nov. 3 election just last week, McClendon had defeated independent candidate Bobby Cox to win reelection. McClendon was a Pittsburg County native who served in law enforcement for 37 years, including 23 years with the McAlester Police Department, retiring in 2016; he became a deputy sheriff in 2017 and was sworn in as sheriff in 2025. The Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office said in a statement: "This is a tremendous loss for all of us. Please keep his family in your prayers during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Sheriff — we've got it from here." The McAlester Police Department said it will help handle calls across the county over the coming days to give the sheriff's office time to be with McClendon's family. Sheriff's offices in Haskell, Tulsa, Bryan and other counties posted tributes, saying law enforcement had lost a brother, a respected leader and a loyal public servant.
