Dennis Tran Vu was fired from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office after prosecutors filed a felony stalking charge, according to KOKH (FOX 25 Oklahoma City). Sheriff Tommie Johnson announced the termination after the charge was filed.
Employment history and investigation
Vu had worked for the sheriff's office for four years and was assigned to the Oklahoma County courthouse, KOKH reported. The agency first placed him on paid administrative leave after learning that he was the subject of a victim's protective order. The sheriff's office then ended his employment after the felony charge was filed.
The Oklahoma City Police Department is handling the investigation, according to KOKH. The available information does not identify the alleged conduct, when it occurred or who was affected. It also does not provide additional information about Vu's court status.
Earlier local case
The case follows an earlier Oklahoma County matter involving former deputy Anthony Jackson. In a 2022 report, KOCO reported that Jackson faced stalking allegations involving a woman who had previously sought a protective order against him. That case is separate from the allegations against Vu.
