6/10/2012 – OKC, OK — A young woman who was featured previously on JohnTV and the local news is once again wanted by the law and social media may be her undoing.
Deven O., 25, was first featured on JohnTV almost a year ago when she was listed as one of 52 individuals arrested in Oklahoma City as part of the FBI’s ‘Operation Cross Country.’ - a nationwide sweep to target primarily child sex traffickers, but also pimps, Johns and prostitutes.
Deven was featured again on JohnTV in Sept. of last year after her pimp, Dathon Todd Pickard, 30, pleaded guilty to a laundry list of crimes and was given the equivalent of a get out of jail free card by Oklahoma County prosecutors.
Despite being a despicable pimp and thief, Pickard was only sentenced to two years deferred and a teeny-tiny fine.

Deven was most recently featured on JohnTV when FOX25′s Phil Cross took a closer look at her arrest and questioned whether or not an Oklahoma City Vice Lieutenant crossed the line when making a case against her – specifically calling in to question the fact both Deven and the officer got undressed and the officer allowed Deven to touch his genitals at least twice before identifying himself.
Since those reports, Deven pleaded guilty last Oct. to felony computer crimes, offering to engage in prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia. Deven was sentenced to five years suspended (supervised), 100-days in jail, $50 fine, $105 VCA, $150 DNA fees, $55 DA fee and all court costs.
Deven allegedly returned to Texas and dropped off the JohnTV radar.
However, in Feb. of this year an application to revoke Deven’s suspended sentence was filed and a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Often a revocation can be over a matter as simple as the defendant neglecting to check-in with supervising authorities. Or, it can be as serious as continuing criminal activity. No details were immediately available regarding why prosecutors want Deven’s sentence revoked.
But here is what we do know, this baby-faced 25-year old has amassed a head-shaking number of mugshots going back to when she was only 19 (could be more, but those would not be public).
Deven has amassed more mugshots in a few short years than most hardened criminals.
Since Deven’s Oklahoma conviction she posed for at least two more mugshots for probation violation arrests in Oct. of 2012 and April of this year in McKinney and Dallas, Texas.
Deven has been wanted since Feb. but that doesn’t mean she’s ‘on the run’ or even hard to find.
You see, like so many millions of us, Deven has a social media presence that she updates regularly.
Deven’s most recent post was on Friday and read in part, “There’s nothing better then the feeling of shame in the morning…”
The rest of her posts are pretty mundane and typical of someone her age. That is until you check out her May 18 post.
It seems this convicted felon likes to spend time at the gun range and then post it publicly (Not a good idea. Ever heard the motto ‘if you’re a felon and you’re pack’n, you’re going back in!’).
The one-minute and 22 second video apparently shows Deven with a semi-automatic pistol, firing several rounds at a paper target.
If you’re wondering what happened to Deven’s pimp Pickard – he was apparently arrested and booked into the Denton County Sheriff’s Office on a theft complaint in Jan. of this year. An arrest that could/should also result in the revocation of his two Oklahoma deferred sentences for felony concealing stolen property, making a false declaration of ownership to a pawn broker, aiding and abetting prostitution and maintaining a house of prostitution.
You’ll notice Pickard is apparently still trying to figure out the look that works best for him… He’s gone from ‘Opie’ to ‘Pee-Wee’ to now ‘Ellen.’ Personally, I think Dathon’s soon-to-be cellmates will prefer the more passive (but upbeat) Pee-Wee look!

JohnTV will continue to follow this story and provide updates as necessary.
