NEWKIRK — Joel Si McBlair, 37, and his mother, Laura Sue Primeaux, 70, remain in the Kay County jail with bond set at $20,000. The pair were arrested on Sept. 30 at their home by Kay County deputies.

Ponca City police report in the affidavit that officers followed up with neighbors on harassment complaints. Police report that a total of six reports of disturbing the peace, including two to use dogs to attack or be used against the neighbors, were found. Also located were two dog bites  reports, including one made on Aug. 30. All of the complaints were filed in a four year span. (see more information below)

A misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer was filed against McBlair on Oct. 7.

Kay County deputy Dustin Wells reports that he went to the pair’s residence in the 400 block of north Palm to execute the warrants on the pair.

Wells reports that he made contact with McBlair in the back yard. McBlair told Wells that he would meet him at the front door.

Wells reportedly went to the front door and made contact with Primeaux and she was placed under arrest. While handcuffing Primeaux, McBlair reportedly came to the door and slammed it shut and locked it.

Wells attempted to force the door open. McBlair reportedly yelled that he was putting the dogs up and then returned and opened the door. He was then arrested. The obstruction charge was added as a consequence for slamming and locking the door.

The pair’s next court date is scheduled for Nov. 7 and defense attorney Jarrod Stevenson has been appointed to the case.

Mother and son arrested on stalking charges

PONCA CITY — Kay County deputies arrested Joel Si McBlair, 37, and his mother, Laura Sue Primeaux, 70, at their home on north Palm Tuesday evening on stalking complaints.

Ponca City police report in a press release that the charges were filed after multiple officers investigated the repeated harassment of a neighbor that began in 2021.  Multiple charges against the two were previously processed by the Ponca City Police Department through Ponca City Municipal Court but the behavior continued from both.

According to statements made by the alleged victim, the examples of the escalating behavior from McBlair and Primeaux include yelling a multitude of racial slurs at adults and children as young as six- months old. 

Examples of the slurs were threatening the victim with deportation from the United States, telling the victim to “get on a boat and go back to Mexico” and referring to the victim and children as “wet backs.”

Other examples of the harassing behavior were McBlair and Primeaux threatening to allow their dogs to attack the victim and their children, throwing dog feces at the victim’s house and into the yard, trespassing and threats of personal harm.  At one point, Primeaux told the victim she “prays that baby doesn’t live” when talking about the victim’s child.

Protective orders have been filed against the pair, who were booked in the county jail and bond set at $20,000.
