Welcome To Osage County
Oklahoma’s Largest County
At the Osage County Sheriff’s Office, our mission is to provide a solid foundation on which the residents of Osage County can thrive. We are committed to building public trust and fostering safe, secure communities through professional, high-quality professional law enforcement.
Osage County holds a unique place in Oklahoma’s history and geography. As the state’s largest county by area, it was established in 1907 when Oklahoma gained statehood. The county’s name and heritage are deeply tied to the federally recognized Osage Nation, whose reservation boundaries are coextensive with the county itself. This land became the Osage Nation Reservation in the 19th century following the relocation of the Osage people from Kansas.
The county seat, Pawhuska, is one of the first three towns founded in the county and remains a hub of history and culture. As of the 2020 Census, Osage County had a population of 45,818 residents.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county spans an impressive 2,304 square miles (5,970 km²), with 2,246 square miles (5,820 km²) of land and 58 square miles (150 km²) of water, accounting for 2.5% of its total area. Much of the landscape is part of the Osage Plains, characterized by open prairie, while the eastern portion features the rolling Osage Hills—an extension of Kansas’ Flint Hills. Nature enthusiasts can also explore the renowned Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, located just north of Pawhuska, where remnants of the once-vast tallgrass ecosystem are carefully preserved.

The Osage County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program in the schools served by our School Resource Officers beginning in the Fall of 2026.
As part of our commitment to youth education and community engagement, Deputy Derrin "Jorgy" Jorgensen recently attended the Oklahoma D.A.R.E. Conference held June 15–17, 2026, at the Choctaw Casino & Resort in Durant, Oklahoma. The conference brought together law enforcement officers, educators, and D.A.R.E. professionals from across the state to share training, resources, and best practices for delivering this impactful program to students.
Deputy Jorgensen will lead the classroom curriculum and work directly with students throughout the school year, focusing on decision-making skills, peer pressure resistance, responsible choices, and building positive relationships between youth and law enforcement.
We are excited to bring D.A.R.E. back into our schools and look forward to investing in the future of Osage County's young people. Thank you to our school districts, community partners, and Deputy Jorgensen for helping make this program possible.

𝐃𝐔𝐈 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐒
On the evening of June 21, 2026, an Osage County Sheriff's Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a red Jeep Cherokee near Tulsa in Osage County after observing the vehicle repeatedly fail to maintain its lane of travel.
During the stop, deputies learned the driver did not possess a valid driver's license and the vehicle was not insured. Deputies also discovered a five-year-old child was riding in the back seat without being properly restrained in a child safety seat and was not wearing a seatbelt.
While speaking with the driver, deputies observed an open container of alcohol inside the vehicle. The driver admitted consuming alcohol prior to driving and agreed to participate in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests.
Based on the totality of the investigation, deputies determined the driver was impaired. A preliminary breath test indicated a BAC of 0.17, more than twice the legal limit.
The driver, identified as Mikah Mattie Marie Washington, was arrested and booked into the Osage County Jail on the following allegations:
▪️ Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
▪️ Child Endangerment
▪️ Failure to Properly Restrain a Child
▪️ Driving Under Suspension
▪️ Failure to Maintain Security Verification (Insurance)
▪️ Failure to Maintain Lane
After being advised of Oklahoma's Implied Consent Law, the defendant initially agreed to submit to the state's chemical test but later refused testing at the testing facility.
Driving under the influence places everyone on our roadways at risk, especially innocent children who rely on adults to make responsible decisions. The Osage County Sheriff's Office remains committed to removing impaired drivers from our roads and protecting the safety of our communities.
This is an arrest not a conviction.

Due to heavy rainfall across Osage County, numerous roads are experiencing high water and flooding. Gray Horse Creek at State Highway 20 is one of the areas impacted, and motorists should expect additional flooded roadways throughout rural Osage County. Flood warnings are in effect for portions of the county as excessive rainfall continues to create hazardous travel conditions.
Drivers should use extreme caution, especially where low-water bridges and other locations that traditionally flood may quickly become impassable.
Remember:

Our deputies are monitoring conditions throughout the county and will continue to respond to reports of flooded roadways as they develop.
Please slow down, stay alert, and help keep yourself and others safe by avoiding flooded roads. If you encounter a flooded roadway, report it to local authorities if it has not already been marked.
Your destination is never worth risking your life. Stay safe, Osage County. … See MoreSee Less

On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, OBN’s Marijuana Enforcement Teams (MET) and the Osage County Sheriff’s Office served a Search Warrant at Linda Wood LLC (10624 State Highway 11) in Barnsdall, Oklahoma as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
“This investigation involves illegal cultivation of marijuana at this location, black-market marijuana production and distribution, and cultivation of marijuana without an OBN Registration.”—OBN PIO Mark Woodward
Agents and Deputies seized 12,899 marijuana plants and 840.8 pounds of processed marijuana. One person was arrested and five people were taken into the custody of ICE. More arrests are expected as this case moves forward.
Agencies involved in the Search Warrant included OBN MET, the Osage County Sheriff's Office, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Barnsdall Police Department, and District 1 County Commissioner Anthony Hudson's Office.
"Illegal marijuana grows operating outside Oklahoma's regulatory system have no place in Osage County. This investigation is an example of what can be accomplished when local, state, and federal agencies work together toward a common goal. We will continue to aggressively pursue criminal organizations that exploit our communities and operate outside the law."
— Sheriff Bart Perrier, Osage County Sheriff's Office
