TPD officer arrested on weapon felony complaint

TULSA — A Tulsa police officer has bonded out of jail after his arrest on a complaint of carrying a weapon where alcohol is sold, a felony.

The charge was filed against Jeffrey Shane Statum Friday.

A probable cause affidavit filed in the case indicates that Statum appeared intoxicated and had a loaded firearm in his pocket when officers responded to a call from Club Majestic downtown on August 3rd.

They were told Statum had flashed a badge, claiming to be an undercover officer named “Jason Brown.”

Witnesses also told officers Statum had inappropriately grabbed some women at the bar.

Statum denied the accusations, and according to the affidavit, denied having a gun.

However, officers reportedly found one when they patted him down, and he was arrested.

He was released after posting a $10,000 bond.

TPD issued a brief statement, saying he was suspended without pay pending the outcome of the investigation, and that he'd been with the department since May of 2017.
