Redd Foxx, Police Chief of Tafta, Oklahoma
In 1974, Redd Foxx became police chief of Taft, Oklahoma, a predominantly black community of just 437 people. And yes, this was during the SAME time he was starring on “Sanford and Son.”
That’s right, Redd Foxx would record his TV show during the day, do stand-up comedy at night, and drop by Taft to check on what he referred to as ‘his’ city on the weekends and every other chance he got. Believe it or not.
