OHP releases trooper reports but not complaint

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol on Friday released the incident report on an Oct. 3 arrest in Holdenville that led to two troopers being put on paid administrative leave, the Tulsa World reported Friday night.

OHP refused to release a copy of the complaint filed against the troopers, saying it is part of the investigation and not a public document, the newspaper reported.

The Tulsa World had requested the records on Monday.

Other media, including the Associated Press and FOX23, also obtained copies of the records Friday.
