According to authorities, the suspect drove by the victim’s food truck near the Walmart at 68th St and S. Memorial Drive around 11 a.m. and pointed a firearm at her.

Officers pursued the suspect into Broken Arrow, where they were eventually stopped near 8900 S. 161st East Avenue with assistance from the Broken Arrow Police Department.

The suspect, whose identity has not been released, remains in custody as the investigation continues. A BAPD, officer used a device called a grappler to bring the suspect to a stop. The grappler is a net-like tool mounted to the front of some of a patrol car that can snare the back tire of a fleeing vehicle, jam it, and then allow the officer to stop the car with the attached tether.
