Oklahoma County, OK – A former Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper has been terminated, arrested, and is now awaiting trial after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman during a 2024 traffic stop, according to a statement from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
The agency said its Investigations Division launched a comprehensive internal inquiry as soon as the allegations were reported. The trooper was placed on leave during the investigation. Once the review was complete, the findings were submitted to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Officials confirmed the trooper was fired following the investigation’s conclusion and later arrested by fellow troopers. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol emphasized the case was handled entirely within the agency to ensure transparency and accountability.
“No one is above the law,” the agency said in a public statement. “Laws are enforced equally, and criminals will be held accountable.”
Hundreds of hours were reportedly dedicated to the case, which OHP described as “thorough, impartial, and professional.” The former trooper remains in custody pending trial.
