HOLDENVILLE, Okla. (KFOR) – A Hughes County Special Courts Program Coordinator is facing a felony for allegedly distributing drugs to a man she was supposed to be supervising. Court documents say on November 12, a Hughes County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to a welfare check at a Holdenville home. When they arrived there and made contact with the man the call pertained to, the deputy said he told him he had been taking Xanax. The man allegedly told the deputy he had got the Xanax from his supervisor of Oklahoma Court Services, who he identified as Kayla Hendryx. Kayla Hendryx. Seminole County Detention Center. The deputy asked the man when the last time he took a drug test for Oklahoma Court Services was. The man originally tried to deceive the deputy and told him that he had taken the test the same day, but authorities confirmed that wasn't the case.

The deputy asked the man if he had any relationship other than a professional one with Hendryx. He responded to the deputy saying they talked a lot and sent nude photos back and forth. The man said he hadn't told anyone about the relationship because he was scared that he would go to jail. "This is something, that you know, should never happen," said Holdenville resident, Clifford Davis. "It is a terrible thing to cross that line." Documents say the man, who said he was having the relationship with Hendryx, agreed to take a drug test at the courthouse and tested positive for Xanax and another drug. He also agreed to a written statement, outlining the previous allegations. He further agreed to a search of his phone, and willingly provided the password to the device. The man also allowed the deputy to take pictures of text messages between Hendryx and himself. Some messages from Hendryx allegedly said "you aint giving me money," "stop taking so many at once," and "babe you can take them but you can't take that damn many.' Another message from Hendryx allegedly said "I did it. I gave them to you and I shouldn't have." "To violate that trust is terrible," said Davis. "There has to be something done about it because that's a violation. We trust the people of this community." On November 13, the deputy states in documents that he went to Oklahoma Court Services to speak with Hendryx in her office. During an interview, Hendryx allegedly admitted to giving the man the Xanax and said that when she realized he was abusing them, she decided she wouldn't be giving him any more. She told the deputy she was trying to help the man. Hendryx verified text messages obtained by authorities on the man's device were from her. When the deputy asked more about the relationship between them, she confirmed what he had told the deputy the previous day. She further added that they had also been calling each other "pet names." The deputy asked Hendryx about the man's drug tests, which were showing negative the past month in the office's system, but could not explain why that was the case. Hendryx was arrested and booked into the Seminole County Jail for distribution of controlled substances. News 4 confirmed with jail administrators Thursday she was no longer in custody, and stopped by an address listed as hers on court documents to give her an opportunity to respond to the allegations. A second woman who said she lived at the address, told News 4 employees Hendryx was not there, and when asked about when she would be back, the woman could not say. "I don't think there's any bouncing back from it, because once you violate that trust, how can you trust them again," said Davis. News 4 reached out to the Hughes County Sheriff's Office for comment, but was told since there was an active investigation, there would be no further comment. News 4 also reached out to Hughes County District Attorney Erik Johnson's Office and received the following news release. Arrest of Kayla HendryxDownload
