Inset: Branden Daniels (Tulsa Police Department). Background: Daniels can be seen on police body camera footage being arrested on Feb. 17, 2026 (Tulsa Police Department).
The suspect, 39-year-old Branden Daniels, faces charges of first-degree burglary following a prior felony conviction, as well as obstruction, the Tulsa Police Department revealed in a recent press release.
The incident unfolded in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Around 3:20 a.m., a woman contacted the Tulsa Police Department, reporting that her former boyfriend had threatened to damage her vehicle if she refused to go out with him. The police department wryly noted that such actions are not particularly persuasive in winning someone back.
The woman told authorities that Daniels appeared at her residence near 63rd Street and Peoria Avenue in Tulsa, where he began shouting at her from outside. He then allegedly escalated his threats by breaking a window to gain access to her bedroom, police reported.
According to the woman, Daniels showed up at her apartment in the area of 63rd Street and Peoria Avenue in the city “and was yelling at her from outside,” police said. The defendant allegedly continued to threaten her “before breaking a bedroom window and climbing into the apartment.”
Photos provided by the department show shattered glass in a home”s window — as well as apparently the ensuing moments as officers arrived.
The responding officers allegedly found Daniels “climbing out of the bedroom window,” and when he noticed them, he “screamed and froze,” allowing law enforcement to detain him and bring him into custody.
In one photo believed to be taken from an officer’s body-worn camera footage, the suspect can be seen with his hands in the air as an officer points what appears to be a stun gun at him.
Daniels was placed in the Tulsa County Jail on the aforementioned charges.
