A former Broken Arrow police
officer charged with assault and battery and public intoxication was arrested
Monday.
Jimmy Lee McBee, 34, was
arrested on an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor assault and battery charge
at 11 a.m.
The charge was filed in
relation to a Dec. 7 incident that resulted in his arrest on a complaint of
public intoxication.
McBee was arrested in the lobby
of the Hyatt Regency Tulsa hotel at 100 E. Second St. after showing signs of
intoxication in the hotel’s lobby, the arresting officer wrote.
Prosecutors allege McBee also
assaulted a woman by “shoving her into the wall with his hand on her breast
with force and violence” the same evening.
McBee paid a $500 bond and was
released Monday afternoon.
The Broken Arrow Police
Department hired McBee in 2005. He was assigned to the patrol division before
he resigned on Dec. 13.
The Tulsa County Sheriff’s
Office previously investigated allegations of first-degree rape against McBee
in January 2012. He was never charged.
