Tulsa Police arrested a man after he used a metal street sign as a dangerous weapon, threatening a security guard at a QuikTrip early this morning.
Tulsa Police arrested 27-year old Darian Padillow after he attempted to steal a case of water and used a metal sign to flee from security. Reports say, he was previously trespassed from the QuikTrip at 11th and Garnett, and when a security guard confronted him, he threatened the security guard with a metal street sign.
Padillow then fled on a bicycle and was riding in and out of traffic before Tulsa Police located him and took him into custody. Officers tracked Padillow to northbound 169, just north of I-244 when he drove across traffic, threw his bicycle over the median, and was hen apprehended.
He was arrested on complaints of unlawful use of a dangerous weapon, criminal trespassing, and obstructing an officer. Padillow is native and the case was turned over to the FBI and tribal authorities.
