Body Cam Video Released: Former Broken Arrow Officer Arrested, Accused Of Public Intoxication

Oklahoma City police released the body camera video of the public intoxication arrest of a now former Broken Arrow police officer.

Police say a downtown hotel called about Braden Watts in June, around 1 a.m., to report that Watts had come out of his room and started causing problems at the hotel bar for the second time. They say the hotel asked officers to make Watts leave, but Watts said he wouldn't and claimed he was a Broken Arrow police officer.

Officers say Watts also kept banging on the police car door, asking them to loosen his handcuffs and refused to stay in the car. Police arrested him for public drunkenness.

Broken Arrow police say they conducted an internal investigation and fired Watts from the department.
