OUPD Officer Under Investigation For Use Of Force

A University of Oklahoma Police Officer is under investigation after a use of force arrest involving a fan during the game against Oklahoma State in Norman.

OU Police said the man assaulted an officer while refusing to leave the aisle in the stands.

A recently released video from the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Nov. 19 shows multiple OUPD officers forcing a man to the ground.

The man was taken into custody, but apparently lost consciousness while being detained.

Prior to losing consciousness, the man can be heard yelling at officers to get off of him, and he claims he is a student at the university.

The university released a statement on the incident:

"We believe that one officer failed to observe the suspect’s rapidly changing physical condition as he lapsed into temporary unconsciousness. OUPD will look to this as a training moment."
