Oklahoma Gov son caught drunk with guns in car - wasn't arrested, won't have criminal record

DA offers deferred prosecution to Stitt's son after deputies find him drunk with guns


GUTHRIE — Following a Halloween incident in Guthrie, the Logan County Sheriff's Office recommended that a charge be filed against the governor's son for possessing alcohol as a minor, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Oklahoman.

On Monday, District Attorney Laura Thomas confirmed she had received the affidavit but decided to offer Stitt and those with him a deferred prosecution program, which involves community service and other requirements in order to avoid a charge and criminal record.


Letters with the offer were sent out last week before media reports surfaced about the incident, Thomas said.

"Whether his last name was Stitt or Hofmeister doesn't matter to me," said Thomas, referring to Gov. Kevin Stitt and his Democratic challenger, Joy Hofmeister, whom he beat in a Nov. 8 election.

On Oct. 31 sheriff deputies were called to a Guthrie haunted house where John Drew Stitt, the governor's 20-year-old son, was intoxicated and in possession of firearms.

White male mass shooters are most often taken alive while black boys with toy guns are shot dead by police. Yeah!

I see it repeated so often. No one took anyone to Burger King.

They did buy food during interrogation, which is common practice with suspects.
