This Week’s Featured Speaker
Charlie Hanger, Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper, 1995
On April 19, 1995, after making a routine traffic stop, Charlie Hanger made an arrest that would be a turning point in his career. That was the arrest of Timothy McVeigh, who was later charged, convicted and executed for the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
Hanger began his nearly 30 year career with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol as a dispatcher in 1972, and graduated from the Training Academy in 1976. Promoted to Second Lieutenant in 1998, Hanger was assigned as a Field Supervisor to Troop-K. From 2000 until his retirement, he served as a supervisor for the Special Operations Troop, assigned to the Criminal Interdiction Unit.
In January 2005, Hanger began a new law enforcement career as the Sheriff of Noble County. He and his wife, Beverly, live near Perry and have two grown daughters.
