The suspect continued to violently attack the officer while she was unconscious. During the violent assault, a witness attempted to intervene, and she was attacked by Wright who then left just moments before additional officers arrived to the scene.
OKCPD officers assigned to the Violent Crimes Apprehension Team (VCAT) arrested Wright hiding in a laundry room at an apartment complex in the 2200-block of N. Meridian several hours after the incident.
Wright will face several additional criminal complaints for Aggravated Assault & Battery on an Officer, Maiming, and Domestic Violence by Strangulation. Wright’s bond has been set at $10,000,000.00.

Wait.. the guy got a bond?
Prayers for a quick recovery
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
let him rot in ok county
The Police Department has failed all Police officers by sending them out on their own. Especially to domestic violence call outs. Also the legal system has failed here also. We are in 2023. Get with the program.
Shouldn't have said the N-word.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
she got blacked
this is why women shouldn't be cops, they weak
Damn he really crazy to assault a cop like that
He is going to get his ass beat far worse than that in jail…….hopefully.
LMAO😂😂😂
Wheres the duty of care? Sending a token office all alone and you expect them to do anything! you are lucky he didnt take the gun and kill the token then his mrs! This is why you need real cops to protect the pretend cops! Imagine the poor real cop who has to have that as a er endangering his life for now reason!
To bad hes alive the pos suspect
never let an female officer go alone to arrest an criminal guy like him. the officer who want to arrest this kind of the criminal must be strong and well skilled in the martial arts and must be at least 5 or 6 officer to arrest him never send an female officer alone to arrest the bastard like him if the police officer see this i want from them to choose the right officer for the right mission thank you.
Well, better stop the cops before they kill your dog 🤷🤷
Reason why female cops shouldn't be on the road patrolling. They create a higher risk and liability for every one.
They should only be called when female suspects are detained.
I cannot stand when they dont have backup! You sent out one officer to handle a situation when there could be multiple people who might have guns.
she needs more training & this dude needs to be put down fr
Never send a female officer alone into a hostile situation like that. I know y'all wanna pretend like men and women are equal but there was zero chance she could have restrained this guy if he decided to resist. She should have waited for backup to arrive.
That's so horrible. I'm glad she's recovering well. That guy is a danger and is obviously not a real man if he beat and choke women like that, for no good reason.
What a vicious animal
Damn gotta be quicker then that
Horrible tactics never go in alone. Be prepared for the fight. Remember the female trooper back in the 80s tried to arrest a black guy on her own and got knocked out and almost killed. Michelle Jeter story
OKC PD should have given this savage the old wood shampoo.
Is this protocol for you guys? Just send a lone female officer to a call of a guy with felony warrants and a history of domestic violence. What could go wrong! 🙃 Hope the department fuckin learned something from this.
I hope the officer is ok. And that guy needs to be removed from the face of the earth !
