Oklahoma State Rep. Dean Davis Arrested for Public Intoxication and Argued with Police.

Oklahoma state Rep. Dean Davis was arrested for public drunkenness outside an Oklahoma City bar just after 2 a.m. Thursday. Davis insisted that officers didn’t have the power to arrest him, pointing to a section of the state constitution that renders lawmakers “privileged from arrest during the session of the Legislature.” He was charged with a misdemeanor and apologized to fellow lawmakers for “creating this unnecessary distraction from the important work of the House.” This was the second time Davis has been arrested in an incident involving alcohol since he was first elected in 2018.
