— A Holdenville High School teacher was arrested and is under FBI investigation for possession of child pornography
Cody Richison is an Agricultural teacher and Future Farmers of America (FFA) advisor
Holdenville Public Schools Superintendent Randy Davenport told 2 News that Richison is on administrative leave
saying he could be terminated at a due process hearing with the school board scheduled for Jan
The local FFA chapter did not return 2 News' request for comment on whether he's still involved
Court documents allege Richison received pictures and videos of children being sexually abused from January 2020 through about March 2024
FBI agents were investigating Joseph Sampson
another man accused of possessing child pornography
when they found messages between him and Richison from January 2024
Sampson allegedly asked Richison what the youngest child he'd been with was
a "buddy's foster son" who was 10 years old
"There's a guy in Henryetta that has a 3-4 [year old]," according to court documents
Richison was also reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tipline after a man
confessed to his partner that Richison had child sexual abuse material in his possession
Richison was arrested and FBI agents executed a search warrant at his home
Agents reported finding around 100 pictures and videos of children being sexually abused
The FBI said the children's ages varied but included some as young as infants
The investigation also found that Richison received at least one of the images while being employed as a teacher at Holdenville Public Schools
He had recently talked with a friend about becoming a foster parent
"It was a shock because nobody knew," Davenport told 2 News
"Even the district attorney didn't know they were coming to arrest him."
"Student safety is the number one priority for our school district like it is for every school district," he said
"We try to ensure parents in our community that their children are safeguarded
and we want the very best for our students and our children and to have the best resources and staff to provide educational training for them."
Davenport emphasized that the district is "fully cooperating" with the FBI and U.S
2 News reached out to the law firm representing Richison for comment
The attorney representing him did not get back to us
Those who have information about any victims of Cody Richison or have any details relevant to this investigation are asked to contact the FBI by emailing RichisonCase@fbi.gov or report it at tips.fbi.gov

The “Reservation Dogs” co-creator and Oklahoma native shares his must-visit spots in Tulsa and more
the world at the center of the show is specific and finely drawn
thanks to the show’s Seminole/Muscogee Creek co-creator and executive producer Sterlin Harjo and his team of Indigenous collaborators
Harjo grew up in Holdenville, a small town in the eastern half of Oklahoma, and still lives in the state, now based in Tulsa. His next project with FX
will further showcase the region and is being billed as a “Tulsa noir.” Eater spoke to Harjo about his favorite restaurants in and around Tulsa
and the elements that define Oklahoma’s food culture
“You have a big mix of influences: You have your typical Southern food; you have a big soul food contingency; and we have great barbecue,” he says
“Then you have the Native influence as well.”
if it’s a Creek or Seminole wild onion dinner
It’s a traditional slow-cooked corn dish made with cracked corn that’s between a drink and a food
Grape dumplings are a really big thing with those same tribes
they were made with what they call possum grapes
Now they’ll use more modern flavors or concentrates to make the grape
it’s made from possum grapes and a dumpling
“As a little reward for the crew and cast, somebody would buy like 200 burgers from Coleman’s. They’re really good; everything’s really fresh. But it was hard to eat out anywhere because our craft services was so good. This guy named Gator [Guilbeau] — he does a lot of shows in Montana and Texas
He makes the best chicken and dumplings I’ve ever had in my life
“After season two or three Bradley Dry started working with Gator
and Bradley will cook a Native-inspired meal.”
“There’s a really great place called FarmBar, and the owners have a destination farm restaurant called the Living Kitchen
They actually moved here from Seattle years ago because they wanted to give up city life and start a farm
And they started the Living Kitchen where they use all locally sourced ingredients
this is a wildflower salad,’ or whatever that they pick there on the land
“All the places I mentioned though are places I would go to impress people
If I want to impress my friends for the barbecue
If I want Amelia’s or Bull in the Alley — all of those places I’ve taken people to
“There’s a place that not a lot of people know about called Moonsky’s — it’s a Daylight Donuts franchise
“And I also have to say another restaurant that’s newer that I love; I’m going to go there today. My friend Aimee [Hunter] owns it, and it’s called Prism Cafe
“Chicken fried steak is the Oklahoma dish, and there’s two places you have to go to to get it. One is Evelyn’s
and then the other one is Nelson’s Buffeteria
there are these old guys that play old Western music
They’ll play Bob Wills and Hank Williams songs
just in the corner playing music — fiddle and guitar and banjo — and singing
“There’s also another Tulsa staple that I have to mention
because I’d probably get kicked out of town if I didn’t: Coney Island
And a lot of people move here or travel and visit here and get it
all the cast from out of town — there were people looking for houses to buy
