Tulsa police arrested a man in connection to the shots fired near the BOK Center Thursday night.
Around 9:45 Thursday night, police say a witness reported seeing a Black male in a yellow and black plaid shirt fire two to three shots west of the BOK Center, put the gun back in his pocket and continue walking.
Shortly after, police located the suspect. After matching the description given by the caller to the suspect, officers said they began giving the suspect commands to stop and remove his hands from his pockets.
Police say the suspect, later identified as Rondrey Pearson, refused to stop. Officers continued to give Pearson commands to stop and he continued to refuse, officers said.
Officers then used "multiple methods of less-lethal force in an attempt to the suspect to comply," according to Pearson's arrest report. Police said after another less-lethal force was used, officers were able to restrain the suspect. In an interview with police after the incident, officers told NewsChannel 8 pepper ball rounds were used.
Officers were able to get Pearson into custody and secured his firearm without further incident.
Pearson was arrested on charges of resisting arrest, possession of a firearm after former conviction of a felony, reckless handling of a firearm and obstructing a police officer.
