Chambers of Atticus Bradstreet McDermott

The Master
Chronology

The complete legality of David Bruce McDermott II — segregated matter by matter, dated on or about, in order. Concise. Coherent. Correlated in times, dates, sets, facts, and circumstances. This is how he and his counsel stay connected.

7 matters · 32 dated entries on the record — and counting

Matter I — United States v. McDermott

N.D. Okla. No. 93-CR-163-E · Tenth Circuit No. 64 F.3d 1448

I.4

August 31, 1995 — The Tenth Circuit published United States v. McDermott, 64 F.3d 1448 (10th Cir. 1995) — the reversal he argued for himself.

Seminole County, Okla. No. CM-2022-150

2021–2022

Matter III — The Mulkey History (the seed of Muskogee)

Okmulgee County / public record

1998–2025
III.1

1998 — McDermott began publicly speaking, writing, and filming on government misconduct; by 2010 the work moved to Facebook.

III.2

2017 — Ethan Ray Mulkey, then an Okmulgee County sheriff's deputy, began a pattern of stops involving McDermott and his associates.

III.3

May 7, 2017 — The Claxton traffic stop: Mulkey's 'crack' call and his recorded words, 'They're only going to believe what I say.' McDermott's Facebook Live series on the stop followed.

III.4

On or about mid-2017 — Sheriff Eddie Rice ordered Mulkey to cease contact with McDermott; Deputy Gerry Mantex confirmed the order's existence.

III.5

April 1, 2019 — The Claxton trial: McDermott alleges Mulkey testified falsely; Claxton was convicted and served 60 days. A new video series followed — protected commentary on a public trial.

III.6

September 4, 2020 — The Missouri email to MHP Captain Scott Shipers containing rhetorical hyperbole ('rip your head off') — the stale seed later harvested for the 2025 charge.

III.7

March 9, 2024 and January 16, 2025 — Administrative complaints (OHP Lt. Dobbs) — the escalation records.

Matter IV — State v. McDermott (the 118 Days)

Muskogee County, Okla. No. CF-2025-708

2025–2026
IV.1

December 30, 2025 — Felony stalking Information filed (21 O.S. § 1173), resting on 59 Facebook posts and a probable-cause affidavit by OHP Investigator Jordy Woolsey — and on the 2020 Shipers email, then more than five years stale. The arrest warrant issued bearing only an illegible scribble: no judge's name, no title of office.

IV.2

January 4, 2026 — Arrested in Florida; extradited; held on NO bond. Detention begins.

IV.3

April 2, 2026 — Seven pro se motions filed; set for hearing April 29, 2026.

IV.4

April 18, 2026 — Bond hearing before Judge Roy D. Tucker: ADA Hanna Scandy demanded $1,000,000 with theatrical characterizations (including the false claim McDermott attacked a man in the extradition van — the record shows he was the one attacked). The court refused the demand — and continued NO bond, without findings.

IV.5

April 20, 2026 — McDermott filed the federal civil action, No. CV-2026-121 (E.D. Okla.), naming DA Janet L. Hutson and Ethan Ray Mulkey.

IV.6

April 29, 2026 — Judge Robin Adair announced a STAY in open court. It was never entered on the docket, never appeared on OSCN, never lifted.

IV.7

May 1, 2026 — Transported under undersheriff escort to the DA's office; release conditioned on dismissal of CV-2026-121 ('Don't take my kindness for weakness'); plea taken with the stay unmentioned; jail ordered to release notwithstanding a known Creek County hold. Released. Total custody: January 4 – May 1, 2026 — one hundred eighteen (118) days.

IV.8

May 20, 2026 — Post-release records review surfaced the stale 2020 email as the charge's foundation.

IV.9

June 18, 2026 — Hunter v. United States decided; the post-conviction application framework drafted (shelved until David reopens it).

Matter V — McDermott v. Hutson & Mulkey

E.D. Okla. No. CV-2026-121

2026
V.1

April 20, 2026 — Filed pro se from custody, naming the prosecutor and the complaining witness.

V.2

May 1, 2026 — Dismissed as consideration for release — the release-dismissal exchange that Town of Newton v. Rumery, 480 U.S. 386 (1987), makes the State's burden to justify. The successor § 1983 complaint stands drafted in the War Chest.

Matter VI — The Creek County Hold

Creek County, Okla.

2026
VI.1

On or about May 1, 2026 — A Creek County hold existed against McDermott which the Muskogee jail had been instructed to honor; on the State's word, he was released past it the same day the civil suit died. The hold's own paper trail is a matter this record still needs.

DATA NEEDED FROM DAVID: Creek County case/hold number, issuing agency, underlying basis, and current status — David to supply

Matter VII — The Oversight Campaign

Council on Judicial Complaints · Oklahoma Bar Association

2026–present
VII.1

June 26, 2026 — Three judicial complaints received by the Council on Judicial Complaints (Loge, Tucker, Adair).

VII.2

July 10, 2026 — Council acknowledgment letter: File Nos. COC-26-135, -136, -137; investigation commenced under 20 O.S. § 1658(A). Envelope preserved: Pitney Bowes meter $0.74, Oklahoma City 73105 postmark (Exhibit I).

VII.3

Prepared and standing ready in this house — the three First Supplements, the restated OBA grievances (Hutson; Scandy), the A-to-Z demand letter, the declaratory motion, and the § 1983 complaint.

DATA NEEDED FROM DAVID: OBA grievance file numbers, if/when assigned
