Handcuffed Man Proposes During Felony Arrest

Brandon Thompson, a 35-year-old Oklahoma man was enjoying his birthday and our nation’s independence on the Fourth of July when he was arrested at his home on six felony warrants.

The officers were in the process of detaining Thompson in the front yard when the suspect made his request.

He asked the officer if he could propose to his girlfriend, Leandria Keith.

Lynch and his partner, Officer Lincoln Anderson, agreed to let him do it. Here is the facebook post from the officers: “It’s not everyday you get asked to let a marriage proposal happen after making an arrest on the soon to be groom. But it happened! ”

The bodycam video shows Thompson asking his mother if he should “do it now” and told her to get the ring. That is when he got down on one knee.

“I love you,” Thompson is heard saying. “Will you be my wife, please?”

Keith said yes.

The officer wearing the bodycam is then seen switching Thompson’s handcuffed hands from his back to his front so he could place the engagement ring on Keith’s finger.

The bodycam video shows Thompson promising his mother and new fiancée that he will turn his life around and “get a job.”

Keith pulled the couple’s savings together to bail Thompson out of jail. He was released the day after his arrest.
