A bizarre incident unfolded at a Starbucks located on West Kenosha in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where a man was apprehended after allegedly driving through the establishment’s drive-thru in the nude on multiple occasions. The suspect, identified as Michael Billingsley, engaged in these unsettling acts before the store underwent renovations.
The Disturbing Incidents
According to reports, on March 30 at 6 a.m., Billingsley purportedly exited his vehicle unclothed while waiting for his order at the Starbucks drive-thru. Subsequently, on April 6 at the same time, he repeated this behavior, with the added disturbing detail of watching pornography while in his vehicle. The manager of the establishment also noticed this behavior during the second incident.
Identification and Admission
Following these incidents, Broken Arrow Police conducted an investigation, during which both the victim and the manager positively identified Billingsley as the perpetrator. In an interview with authorities on April 9, Billingsley confessed to his actions, stating that he engaged in the behavior as an exhibitionist to catch the attention of the female employees working at the drive-thru window. He admitted to similar actions at another Starbucks location in Tulsa, where his consistent order of a large iced americano became recognizable to staff.
Law Enforcement Response
Ethan Hutchins, the Information Coordinator for Broken Arrow Police, expressed dismay at the situation, emphasizing the distress inflicted upon employees simply trying to perform their jobs. Billingsley was subsequently arrested and charged with two counts of indecent exposure, before being released on a $4,000 bond.
