***UPDATE***

On May 19, 2026, at approximately 8:00 a.m., Sapulpa Police Officers were dispatched to the Garden Park Apartments, located at 207 N. Hickory, to investigate a possible stolen vehicle. The vehicle had been stolen from Bella Vista, AR several hours prior, along with a handgun. The Bella Vista Police Department notified the Sapulpa Police Department of the location of the vehicle and the possible suspect.

Upon arriving, two Sapulpa Police Officers located the vehicle and observed a white male, later identified as Brayden Lee Jessen, sitting in the driver’s seat. Officers began giving verbal commands to Jessen, telling him to exit the vehicle. Jessen exited the vehicle with a firearm in his hand and pointed it at the officers. Both officers discharged their weapons, striking Jessen. Jessen sustained non-life threatening injuries and was given first aid by both officers prior to EMS arriving.

Jessen was taken to a Tulsa hospital, where he is listed in stable condition, after surgery.

Once released from the hospital, Jessen will be booked into the Creek County Justice Center with the following charges: possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of stolen property, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Neither officers were injured and both have been placed on administrative leave, per departmental policy.

We want to thank the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for their assistance in this investigation.
