“I got a call from OCPD that they had arrested Commander Dewitt, there had been an altercation at a business in Oklahoma City,” Booth said.

Dewitt, who served as a sheriff's commander in Pottawatomie County, was suspended with pay as the sheriff's office conducted an internal investigation after he was arrested.
When the store clerk intervened by asking Dewitt to calm down and leave the store, he reportedly responded, “F**k you, I'm a cop.”
The pair finally decided to buy a large battery-powered sex toy and headed to the counter. The victim said he asked if they needed a battery for the toy.
The victim claimed Dewitt then became angry and said the question should be asked before they tested the toy.
At the time, the clerk responded by saying it was a company policy and he could not change it.
The woman who was with Dewitt told officers that Dewitt asked, “What the hell are you saying to me, fat boy?”
The clerk responded, “Dude, get the fuck out of my face.”
Dewitt responded by standing behind the counter and furiously punching the worker in the face, the police report said.
After he was punched, the clerk asked Dewitt to leave and Dewitt began punching him several more times in the face and ribcage, the report said.
Dewitt also allegedly threw a clear bucket full of suction cups across the store and a two-layer container of mints before driving away in a Bentley.
Before leaving, he was hit in the back with a sex toy in a box.
He allegedly told the store clerk, “Call the damn police.” I am an officer of the law. You're not fucking attacking me. I can have you arrested, locked up in a place where you will never be released again.'
