It looks like the Stitt family motto is still “Rules For Thee and Not For Me!”
We got a tip via the Ogle Mole Network that, until yesterday afternoon, Kevin Stitt’s oldest son – John Andrew “Drew” Stitt of Guthrie Haunted House and OSU Parking Enforcement fame – spent the last year and a half cruising the streets, highways, and probably a few off-road trails of Oklahoma on a suspended license.
According to OSCN, the whole saga stems from a May 2024 traffic stop when Lil’ Stitter was pulled over by OHP in Payne County for going 1–10 mph over – which is, what, a $100 ticket? – while driving his 2018 Lincoln SUV.
I don’t know if Drew – the son of a mega-wealthy politician and banker – simply forgot about the ticket (unlikely), or assumed Dad would make it disappear (very likely), but regardless, the citation was never paid, never handled, and never cleared from the books.
As a result, a couple of months later in July 2024, the court issued a bench warrant for his arrest and suspended his license:
Just like how his dad ignored voting in elections, Drew ignored the bench warrant and suspended license and never paid the ticket, spending the next 16 months rolling around with a bench warrant out for his arrest.
Well, until yesterday.
I guess word of the warrant had leaked into the wild. That’s when an Ogle Mole hit me up:
A few hours after that email landed in my inbox, I checked OSCN.
To my surprise, look who magically made a phone call that very same day to plead no contest, pay the ticket, and get the bench warrant recalled and suspension released.
I’ll admit — I’ve never had a bench warrant issued for my arrest (that I know of), but who knew it was that easy to clear up?
I guess all you have to do is call in, plead no contest, pay your fine, chat with Virginia, and boom — nothing to worry about!
Obviously, our court system is just that easy for everyone with a bench warrant to navigate. And, just like the time he got a tipsy-tow ride home from OHP, Lil’ Stitter definitely didn’t get any special treatment or privileges. Not at all. Never. No way.
Anyway, for giggles, we may file an open records request to get all the files and case details that curiously aren’t on OSCN. Although I get the feeling this is just an example of a bone-headed kid doing bone-headed kid things, we’ll let you know if there’s something more there.
In the meantime, if you know of any politician’s kids out there driving around with bench warrants and suspended licenses, hit us up on the TLO tip line before they pay it!
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
