CHOCTAW, Okla. (KFOR) – A man took Choctaw Police and Oklahoma County Deputies on a chase, only to be caught with his pants off. Police said it turns out the suspect had multiple warrants out for his arrest.
“It’s just heavily, heavily wooded,” said Chief Kelly Marshall, with Choctaw Police.
On May 26th at 10:25pm, Choctaw police said they tried to pull over Curtis Kaulaity Jr, near NE 23rd and Hiwassee for a broken tail and headlight. Instead, he sped away for ten miles.
“Which is relatively a long pursuit,” said Chief Marshall. “You wonder why they’re not stopping.”
The suspect eventually stopped near NE 36th and Smith, ditched the car, and then took off again. This time he ran through the woods, making it about the length of three football fields.
Thankfully, Oklahoma County Deputies were on the other side of the brush and spotted Kaulaity in a blue shirt and shorts.
“Danger, danger, danger!” deputies can be heard saying on the body camera footage.
After chasing him, Kaulaity jumped a fence. Unfortunately, the suspect’s pants were gone.
“The woods literally tore the suspect’s clothing off; it was so thick,” said Chief Marshall. “The suspect did not stop, and a taser was deployed.”
It turns out, the suspect had warrants for his arrest out of Caddo County for obstructing an officer, second-degree burglary, and assault and battery.
Now, Kaulaity is facing complaints of endangering others while eluding police along with other traffic violations.
“Making traffic stops matters,” said the chief.
Three days later, on May 29th, Choctaw police were taken on another chase.
Police said Emmanuel Williams was speeding along Triple X Rd. and NE 23rd.
Instead of pulling over for officers, he took off at speeds more than 100mph. He then lost control, hit a utility box, and kept driving.
Williams eventually tried to get out and run away but didn’t get very far. Police said he had broken his pelvis during the crash.
Police said Williams didn’t have a driver’s license, which would have been just a simple citation.
