Oklahoma Sec. of State Also Arrested for Public Intoxication in 2022…

Well, it looks like Friday night’s drunken McDonald’s adventure wasn’t Oklahoma Secretary of State Ben Lepak’s first public intoxication arrest.

Thanks to a tip via the Ogle Mole Network, we’ve learned Stitt appointee Ben Lepak – the I-bet-soon-to-be former Oklahoma Secretary of State who was very publicly arrested for public intoxication in Edmond last Friday – was also arrested for public intoxication in the city back on June 8, 2022, after an officer encountered him next to a disabled Ford Explorer near Danforth and Coltrane.

Check this out:

Well, that sounds eerily familiar.

In his recent arrest, Lepak also told police he’d consumed one beer – before quickly clarifying it was actually less than one because he didn’t finish it. Then again, this is a dude who thinks of McDonald's as a treasured cheat meal, so he obviously can't be trusted.

For what it's worth, this second public intoxication charge is the third alcohol-related citation for Lepak – that we know of.

As other outlets reported today, Lepak was also taken into custody in The Village in 2021 on suspicion of being intoxicated while in control of a running vehicle. Court records reportedly show a breath test of roughly 0.11% to 0.12% and that Lepak later received a one-year deferred sentence.

So, yeah.

The dude has now had three alcohol-related arrests in five years. Nice to know Stitt’s picking only our best and brightest and apparently drunkest for his cabinet, huh?

Anyway, this is breaking-news-ish, and we may have more on the body cam footage from Lepak’s latest arrest soon. In the meantime, stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
