Wed, May 10, 2017 — Tulsa officers attempted to speak with a panhandler this week near 51st and Lewis.
Instead, Jonte Gibson took off running and for good reason. When officers caught him, they recovered a loaded gun, a taser and mace.
One nearby resident made light of Gibson being armed while begging for money.
Gibson is in jail for carrying a gun without a license, running from officers and a warrant.
“He’s an aggressive panhandler, at the least,” the resident said.
