KOKH reported Cody Lieb, 22, was arrested on multiple complaints after an alleged assault and car theft in Tulsa and a later crash involving the car in Broken Arrow.
As KOKH reported, Tulsa police responding to a fight at a hotel near 45th and Garnett on Saturday found a man with significant facial injuries. The man identified his son, Lieb, as the person who knocked him down, punched him in the face and took his car keys from his pocket, the station reported.
A protective order figured in the police search
Officers learned Lieb might be headed to an ex-girlfriend’s home, KOKH reported. The station said the woman had an active protective order against him.
What the state report counts
The Oklahoma Supreme Court’s FY 2023 report counts Victim Protective Orders issued by the court only when an original proceeding resulted in an order. That measure does not count every petition, so it cannot by itself show how common protective-order filings are in Tulsa County or how they have changed in recent years.
KOKH reported that Broken Arrow police later received a call that Lieb had driven the stolen car through a backyard fence.
Multiple Charges Follow Arrest
KOKH reported Lieb was arrested on complaints of violating a protective order, domestic assault and battery, first-degree robbery, and larceny of an automobile. The complaints concern the alleged assault on his father, the taking of his car and the crash at the home of a woman who had an active protective order against him. The allegations are not findings of guilt.
Statewide figures offer limited context
Oklahoma averaged more than 26,000 reported domestic-violence incidents annually from 2021 through 2024, according to figures from the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office cited by KTUL. That statewide figure does not provide a Tulsa-area comparison or establish anything about the allegations against Lieb or their outcome.
