In a peculiar series of events in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a man’s naked escapades through a Starbucks drive-thru have raised eyebrows and led to his arrest. The incident unfolded at the Starbucks located on West Kenosha, which is currently closed for renovations, but before the refurbishments commenced, startling incidents occurred involving a patron named Michael Billingsley.
Allegations and Affidavits
According to reports, on March 30th at 6 a.m., Michael Billingsley purportedly drove through the Starbucks drive-thru in the nude. Witnesses claimed he exited his vehicle without clothing while awaiting his order. This alarming behavior allegedly repeated on April 6th at the same time, with added details of Billingsley reportedly engaging in lewd activities while driving through the establishment’s drive-thru.
Identifications and Confessions
Following the unsettling incidents, Broken Arrow Police intervened, leading to Billingsley’s identification by Starbucks staff members through a lineup of photos. During police questioning, Billingsley confessed to the acts, describing himself as an exhibitionist seeking attention from the female employees. He admitted to similar actions at another Starbucks branch in Tulsa, leaving a lasting impression as staff members recognized his preferred order.
Law Enforcement Response
