OK, finally got ahold of the DA's office:
1. He does not personally know the uncle, but overheard conversations between the sheriff and the deputy that the horse was at the uncle's "son's" place. Remember the Tulsa World article?? (Bam. It's his son.)
2. I will need to be at the preliminary hearing for the man who originally sold my horse. His hearing is set for Dec. 2, 2009 at 1:30 PM. Needless to say, I work that day but will have to talk to management.
3. The DA did not get a chance to file the ownership hearing last week, but is filing today and should be able to get a court order today telling the uncle to not do anything with Max except take care of him.
4. I cannot file charges against the uncle because he received embezzled property...not stolen. It was embezzled property because Max was at the man's property according to the lease agreement.
5. I can file charges against the man who sold my horse because he is calling me and should not be trying to contact me at all, especially since his original phone call was threatening and borderline extortion. So, I'll be going to Tahlequah to do that today. Also going to try and get a protective order against him as well.
