Oklahoma Mom Nearly Kills Woman In DUI Car Crash — Spends Only 73 Days Behind Bars With iPad And Chick-fil-A Access

Sara Polston served a 'lavish' prison sentence for nearly killing a woman in DUI
A wealthy Oklahoma woman walked out of prison, having served just 73 days for severely injuring a woman. According to court documents, she received special treatment during her stay behind bars because of her high-level friends, including Governor Kevin Stitt.
Sara Polston, 43, maimed a woman in a DUI crash in 2023. After pleading guilty, she was sentenced to eight years in prison. In December 2025, she began serving her sentence at the Dr. Eddiebo Warrior Correctional Center.
Sara Polston Allegedly Exploited Her Husband’s Connections
Sara Polston was allegedly going 66 mph in a 25 mph zone
Just after a few months, in February, she walked free with only a GPS monitor. This means she served just 2.5% of her total sentence. According to a grand jury report, no criminal wrongdoing was found, but Polston allegedly benefited from ‘political favoritism.’
According to reports, Polston’s husband, Rob, 52, is a tax lawyer with connections in some high places. He allegedly exploited his connection with Cleveland County’s then-sheriff Chris Amason and Kevin Stitt to provide preferential treatment for his wife in prison.
According to the jury report, Rob allegedly told his wife that he intentionally got her into a prison at maximum capacity so it would be easier to “justify bouncing you out earlier because they just don’t have the space.”
According to News4 KFOR, Rob and Sara had several calls when she was in prison. In one of the calls, he said that “our friend” was “not happy that the District Attorney did not change her position” about her sentencing. In another call, he seemingly referenced “Kevin.”
Rob is heard saying, “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 or bother him. He’s got to check to see if he’s got it, if they [the Parole Board] serve, quote-unquote, at his pleasure.”
Polston Was Allowed To Switch Cells As She Wanted

Her short stay behind bars was reportedly marked by special treatment. According to reports, she was allowed to change cells and had access to an iPad, which allegedly did not follow normal jail procedure. In addition, she was permitted to visit her husband in a more comfortable setting, and Rob was reportedly allowed to bring Chick-fil-A for her.
While she was receiving those privileges, the woman she seriously injured, 20-year-old Micaela Borrego, was fighting for her life. Borrego spent two months in a coma, and even after regaining consciousness, she continues to struggle.
Three years after Polston nearly killed her in a drunken crash, Borrego is still relearning the basic tasks of daily life.
Meanwhile, Kevin Stitt denied helping with Polston’s lenient punishment. In a statement on X, he said, “Let me be clear: no governor can unilaterally end someone’s prison sentence, and I didn’t do so in the Polston case. 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.”
