Tulsa Police Department Press Release Re: Wesley Leach Arrest
THREATENING PEOPLE IN A PARKING LOT — Suspect arrested with help from the Tulsa Police Helicopter
On October 14th, 2025, around 7:45 p.m., Officers responded to 3800 S. Peoria for a call about a Disturbance with a Weapon.
The caller reported that a man with tattoos on his face pulled a gun out of his backpack and threatened a person walking into QuikTrip.
The Tulsa Police Helicopter quickly responded to the scene and spotted the suspect, identified as Wesley Leach, traveling southbound on Peoria.
Officers took Leach into custody and found he had a BB gun, which was painted black and had the orange tip removed. It appeared Leach was using the gun to imitate a real gun.
Leach was taken into custody and arrested for Possession of a Firearm AFCF (After Former Conviction of a Felony).
Leach is a tribal member and falls under the McGirt ruling; therefore, detectives will turn this case over to the FBI and Tribal Authorities for further investigation.
We often get questions about charging convicted felons with Possession of a Firearm AFCF when it is a BB gun or similar. In this case, without close inspection, the BB gun would be indistinguishable from an authentic firearm.
Under Oklahoma Title 21 Section 1283, possession of an imitation pistol by a convicted felon is a crime.

This is an arrest, not a conviction.
