Oklahoma Secretary of State Arrested Again | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma’s Secretary of State, Benjamin Lepak, is under fire after a second alcohol-related arrest—this time for public intoxication—sparking calls for him to be placed on leave as Attorney General Gentner Drummond demands an investigation and public body-camera footage. Despite claims he was just waiting for food and never given a breathalyzer test, the officer noted slurred speech, alcohol odor, and trouble producing ID. Lepak, appointed by Governor Stitt and confirmed by the Senate, faces mounting pressure even though his position is constitutionally protected. His prior 2021 arrest for suspected drunk driving resulted in a deferred sentence, and now, with his car present and conflicting statements about driving, the case heads to Edmond Municipal Court.
