Benjamin Lepak , Oklahoma's secretary of state, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication outside an Edmond McDonald's after police responded to a 911 call, according to newly released body-camera footage. The incident shows officers questioning Lepak as he held a bag of food and appeared, in their view, too impaired to safely leave. Police asked Benjamin Lepak whether he had driven to the restaurant and whether he had been drinking. Lepak said he wanted to leave and eat, but officers continued the questioning before taking him into custody; one officer reportedly told him a DUI arrest could have been on the table if investigators believed he had driven. Why Is This Bigger Than a McDonald's Arrest? Benjamin Lepak's arrest is drawing extra scrutiny because he previously pleaded guilty in 2021 to misdemeanor charges involving actual physical control of a vehicle while intoxicated and transporting an open container of beer. Local reports said the earlier case ended with probation and community service, making the latest allegation a politically combustible sequel. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond called for accountability and said Lepak should be removed from office, arguing that public service requires public trust. Drummond said his office would work with Edmond officials to review the available footage and establish what happened; Benjamin Lepak's office had not publicly responded when the report was published.
