Tulsa Police arrested a wanted man after they say he crashed his car into the Oyo Motel near Admiral and Sheridan Saturday afternoon.
Police say it happened just before 5 p.m.
Witnesses called 911 saying a car had crashed into the motel.
The driver, Duane Harper, then reportedly jumped into a responding ambulance.
When first responders got there, they say they found the car had broken through a motel room wall, damaging a pillar that supports a second-floor balcony.
EMSA paramedics checked him out, and he was arrested.
Police say they later learned Harper was wanted on a warrant out of Tennessee for a parole violation on a sex crimes conviction.
He was arrested on that warrant, public intoxication, and resisting arrest.
Police say bystanders told them the suspect was trying to run over a woman when he hit the building. The woman didn’t stay around to talk with officers.
Tulsa Fire Rescue responded to reinforce the structure and remove the car from the wall.
