French, according to police, asked the responding officer to turn off his body camera.

The arresting officer did not turn off his body camera, and followed correct traffic stop protocol, according to police.

According to police, officers spotted a dark vehicle speeding along South May Avenue, swerving as it went northbound.

When the officer stopped the vehicle, French was slurring his speech and smelled of alcohol, police said.

French was arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

Jail records show he bonded out of the jail at around 9 a.m. Sunday.
