Wealthy mom who maimed young woman in drunken wreck got p...

A wealthy Oklahoma mom convicted of maiming a young woman in a drunken car wreck was freed from prison after just 73 days and got cushy treatment during her short stay in the clink, all thanks to friends in high places — including Gov. Kevin Stitt, court papers allege.

Sara Polston, 43, was initially sentenced to 8 years in prison after pleading guilty in October to a horrific 2023 DUI crash, which left 20-year-old Micaela Borrego in a two-month coma and relearning how to walk and speak once she awoke.

Polston was booked at the Dr. Eddiebo Warrior Correctional Center in December, but was walking free with little more than a GPS monitor in February — meaning she served just 2.5% of her sentence, according to a shocking grand jury report that found no criminal wrongdoing but alleged the boozy mom benefited from “political favoritism.”

That favoritism stemmed from her tax lawyer husband, 52-year-old Rod, who allegedly exploited his ties to Cleveland County’s corrupt then-sheriff Chris Amason to get his wife preferential treatment — and even leaned on his high school classmate and college frat buddy, Stitt, according to the May 7 report.

The alleged backroom dealing began within days of his wife’s sentencing, with Rod telling his wife that he’d gotten her into a prison at 99% capacity so it would be easier to “justify bouncing you out earlier because they just don’t have the space,” the report said.

Calls between the husband and wife while she was behind bars also made references to “our friend” who was “not happy that the District Attorney did not change her position” about the sentence, while squabbling about somebody named “Kevin” — the governor’s first name — and a parole board.

“That’s why I’m concerned about how quickly I can get you out of there. I’m going to try not to beg Kevin, bother him,” Rod said in one call, News4 KFOR reported. “He’s got to check to see if he’s got, if they [the Parole Board] serve, quote-unquote at his pleasure.”

Once Polston was sentenced she was sped through the system at record speeds, making it to her final prison in just days as opposed to the weeks most inmates languish in county lockups before transfers.

And her brief stay behind bars was hardly a punishment — with the report claiming she was allowed to switch cells as she pleased, had access to an iPad “in a manner outside of normal procedure,” and that her hubby was able to coordinate visits as she wanted and even bring her Chik-fil-A to snack on.

“My iPad still isn’t charged,” Polston whined to her husband at one point during her stay on the state’s dime.

This was all while Borrego was still struggling to learn the basics of living again, about three years after Polston nearly killed her while speeding drunk through a neighborhood at twice the legal drinking limit.

Borrego had been driving home from work when Polston came barreling down a neighborhood road — going 66 mph in a 25 mph zone — and ploughed into her after blasting past numerous stop signs.

The innocent young woman’s car was “launched off the road” and slammed into a brick house, while the driver’s side door where she was sitting was “crushed into the center console,” according to the grand jury report.

Borrego suffered a stroke, was left with “brain swelling, a sacrum fracture, a lumbar spine fracture, dislocation of her tailbone area, bleeding around her brain, scalp lacerations, eyelid lacerations” along with spine, brain and artery injuries — all of which shortened Borrego life by 10 years and will require permanent care, according to the report.

Polston, meanwhile, staggered away all but unhurt.

The mom had been on the way to pick up her kids from school, and admitted to being drunk off margaritas after getting bombed at lunch with friends.

She also confessed to stopping at a liquor story before she picked up her little ones, while a bottle of tequila was found rolling about her car.

After admitting to her behavior and pleading guilty in October, Polston spent about as much time behind bars as Borrego did in a coma.

That was after Stitt’s office — to which the Polstons donated $27,800 and once hosted a high-ticket fundraiser at their home for — called the director of the Department of Correction to ask for leniency in its sentencing recommendation for Polston.

“It defies common sense and logic to believe that the Governor and the Governor’s staff’s multiple phone calls to newly appointed Interim Director for DOC Farris did not play a role in the remarkable decision to release Sara Polston just over two months into an eight-year sentence for DUI – Great Bodily Injury,” the report read.

“This rank political favoritism, particularly on a crime that nearly took the life of a 20-year old young woman, is indefensible,” it added.

No criminal allegations were levelled in the report, but it did recommend reforms like requiring inmates to serve a minimum percentage of their sentences before being released on GPS — and also that victims be notified of any releases, as Borrego and her family were not when Polston was sprung.

Stitt denied all of the grand jury reports allegations.

“Let me be clear: no governor can unilaterally end someone’s prison sentence, and I didn’t do so in the Polston case,” he said in a statement posted to X. “Prior to changes in the law we made during this legislative session, the Department of Corrections could transfer someone convicted of DUI to an ankle monitor. That’s what happened in this case and all similar cases.”

Stitt also pointed the finger at ex-Sheriff Chris Amason — who resigned in April after admitting to embezzling thousands in campaign funds — for giving Polston “favors” while she was in prison.

Neither the Polstons nor Amason responded to request for comment from The Post.
