Oklahoma Metropolis man accused of knowingly spreading HIV

According to authorities, an Oklahoma City man is accused of contracting HIV, OKC FOx reports.

Earnest Lacour is being held in the Oklahoma County Jail and charged with three felony counts of spreading a contagious disease.

Authorities say a woman first took to social media, accusing the defendant of knowingly spreading the disease. As a result, more women came forward with the same claim.

Police say they received Lacour’s notes showing he was diagnosed with HIV in 2019.

A woman diagnosed with HIV went to the doctor with Lacour.

According to court documents, one of the women who tested positive for HIV went to the doctor with Lacour. The woman told police she knew Lacour already knew he was HIV positive when she found out he was given HIV medication that day without his blood being tested.

The 30-year-old is being held on a $500,000 bond.
