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.
