EDMOND, OKLAHOMA — The mayor personally distributed thousands of fliers discouraging underage drinking only to find they mistakenly contained the phone number for a sex talk line.
Mayor Saundra Naifeh and more than five dozen volunteers went door-to-door Saturday to deliver 22,000 fliers. The city attorney notified Naifeh Saturday night after the police department learned of the mistake.
“Obviously, it made me feel sick,” Naifeh said. “I have no idea how the error happened.”
Callers dialing the number were promised “exciting live talk” if they called a second number offering provocative telephone conversations or text messages costing 99 cents to $2.99 a minute.
The flier was designed by the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, City Manager Larry Stevens said.
Naifeh had chosen the campaign to fight underage drinking as Edmond’s contribution to Make A Difference Day, a national day set aside to help neighbors and the community.
