OSBI Investigates GRDA Officer-Involved Shooting
Grand River Dam Authority Police Chief Brian Edwards requested OSBI assistance overnight with an officer-involved shooting near Disney State Park. At approximately 9 p.m. Thursday, a Mayes County sheriff’s deputy pulled over a vehicle for a traffic stop near Disney State Park on Highway 28. Witnesses tell OSBI agents a passenger in that vehicle exited the vehicle holding a handgun to his head. He then ran into a nearby wooded area. Officers with the Grand River Dam Authority and other surrounding agencies assisted in locating the suicidal man. At least two GRDA officers found the man who pointed his handgun at the officers. Two GRDA officers fired their guns at the man striking him several times. Mitchell Rocky Allen (d.o.b. 11/2/1978) was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa in critical condition. OSBI agents arrived on scene over night and interviewed numerous people and collected evidence from the scene. Once agents have completed the investigation, they will provide the district attorney with a comprehensive written report of the incident. The district attorney will determine whether the shooting was justified.
