MUSKOGEE, Okla. — Andrew Fultz, a Haskell foster father facing felony child neglect charges, was back in Muskogee County Court.
After a quick appearance, his case was pushed to April, and he was ushered out side doors and staircases.
A similar situation unfolded in late February at the Fultz's arraignment. Officials with the city and Muskogee County Sheriff's Office shielded the couple from the media.
2 News brought you the moments Fultz bonded out of jail:
2 News called the sheriff's office, to ask why it seemed like the Fultz's were being protected.
They said their operations were merely about protecting the courthouse, and keeping those in it safe.
Andrew's family accompanied him in the courtroom, including his father, Doug Fultz.
Doug serves on the City of Haskell's board of trustees, and appears to be on the ballot for next month's election for a city council seat.
This court appearance comes less than a week since we reported the Fultz's Haskell home was being searched for evidence.
