This video is from the Oklahoma County Sherriff’s Office — they were serving an eviction order and the guy inside used an improvised flame thrower on them. Deputies say Darren Dunn rigged up an aerosol can and a lighter, and also had what appeared to be an improvised explosive device hooked up to car battery in the apartment. They arrested Dunn and transported him to the Veterans hospital for treatment. He’ll face charges. ]]> Wed 26 Aug 2026 23:42:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619105/man-attacks-sheriff-s-deputies-with-flamethrower/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1618931/oklahoma-s-secretary-of-state-got-arrested-for-public-intoxication-outside-a-mcdonald/
New body camera video shows the moment Oklahoma Secretary of State Benjamin Lepak was arrested at a McDonald’s on suspicion of public intoxication. Lepak was arrested in Edmond on Friday. According to court documents, the Edmond Police Department was called to a McDonald’s around 10:45 p.m. for a report of a man drunk in public. When officers arrived, they said they saw Lepak standing at the drive-thru window. Officers saw Lepak’s vehicle in the parking lot, which he reportedly confirmed was his. According to the arrest affidavit, one of the officers said Lepak had “extremely slurred speech” and an “odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath.” When officers asked Lepak to show his ID, he reportedly struggled to remove it from his wallet. An officer asked Lepak where he had been, to which he responded that he had gone to church earlier. During the conversation, the officer continued to ask him what he had been doing and asked why he was unsteady on his feet, why his speech was slurred and how much he had had to drink. Lepak argued that he was not unsteady on his feet and said he had been at church with other fathers for a gathering. Officers said Lepak was unable to maintain a “coherent train of thought” during their conversation. Lepak said he had been at a church event and admitted to having a beer. The affidavit said Lepak admitted “I had a beer… that’s it,” then backtracked and said he had less than one beer because he did not finish it. Police said Lepak continued to make contradictory statements about driving to the McDonald’s and how he got there. Officers placed Lepak under arrest on suspicion of public intoxication. Attorney general calls for firing Following news of Lepak’s arrest, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond called for the secretary of state’s immediate firing. “After reviewing footage from law enforcement body cameras, it is clear that Secretary of State Ben Lepak was thoroughly inebriated and very likely lied to law enforcement about how much he had to drink and how he and his car both arrived at the same place without him driving it. This conduct is thoroughly unbecoming of a such a high ranking state official, and I am demanding that Gov. Stitt fire him immediately,” Drummond said. Lepak was appointed by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt in October 2025 to serve as interim secretary of state before fully taking over the position in January 2025. Stitt has not yet commented on the incident. It is not the first time Lepak has faced charges related to alcohol. He was charged with a DUI in May 2021. ]]> Fri 21 Aug 2026 10:03:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1618931/oklahoma-s-secretary-of-state-got-arrested-for-public-intoxication-outside-a-mcdonald/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1618040/a-woman-in-oklahoma-was-murdered-over-a-tiktok-she-made-on-july-11th/

Diners at the Oneta Station Diner in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, were plowed by the Chevy Silverado, and one waitress, Gina, was trapped against the salad bar. Waitress Melissa Newkirk said, "We were just kind of resetting for what was to come for lunch an hour after church service. I heard a huge crash and then saw a truck coming into the diner." Gine was transported to the hospital in critical condition, and the manager, MacRay McManus, says they are trying to locate the family who had 2 minors directly hit by the truck to make sure they are ok. Staff members set up a GoFundMe to help Gina and to cover expenses while the diner remains closed. ]]> Fri 03 Jul 2026 09:05:02 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1617197/diners-trying-to-enjoy-a-nice-meal-were-run-over-by-a-truck/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615060/footage-from-lake-arcadia-campground-in-edmond-oklahoma-after-the-tragic-shooting/

Watch as Shari, her husband, and their pet head straight to their shelter in Ponca City. By the end of the video, you can see the wind picking up debris even though you can't see the tornado.

PAULS VALLEY, Okla. — New surveillance footage from a high school in Oklahoma appears to show a gunman getting tackled by the school’s principal shortly after entering the building. Authorities said the suspected gunman entered the school on April 7, aimed a gun at two students in the lobby, before Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore rushed in. The armed man was identified as former Pauls Valley student Victor Hawkins, 20. Moore was able to take down Hawkins after rushing out of his office. Another staff member could also be seen in the video taking the former student’s gun away. The Pauls Valley High School principal was shot in the leg during the confrontation but was taken to the hospital in stable condition, without any of the nearby students being injured. “The actions of the staff and the principal stepping in as soon as they saw a subject with a firearm saved lives,” Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation spokesman Hunter McKee said. Hawkins’ charges include feloniously pointing a firearm, shooting with intent to kill and carrying a weapon to a public assembly. The 20-year-old is scheduled to appear in court on May 8. ]]> Tue 14 Apr 2026 22:02:05 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614135/school-principal-tackling-a-shooter-and-preventing-him-from-opening-fire/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1613502/casino-player-started-ramming-into-the-video-poker-machine-that-went-black-when-he-wa/
