09/18/2026 – Yesterday, around 9 a.m., a Tulsa Police Officer on patrol saw the driver of a silver Dodge Charger going 100 mph in a 65 mph zone on Highway 169 near Pine.
The Officer got behind the driver and activated his lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop. The driver of the Charger slowed down, then stuck his favorite finger out of his sunroof before speeding off again.

Another Officer got behind him and received the same treatment. Despite his unwarranted gestures, Officers terminated the pursuit for the safety of other drivers.
Officers looked up his tag information to identify the driver as 54-year-old Daelon Jacobs. Our Real Time Information Center then used Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR) to quickly track down Jacobs near 21st and Garnett.
This time, Jacobs pulled over but refused Officers’ commands to get out of his car. After several minutes of back-and-forth negotiations and pulling away from Officers trying to take him into custody, Jacobs was placed under arrest.
He confidently informed officers that we lacked jurisdiction over him because of his tribal status, making him entirely immune to arrest — a bold misconception that clearly fueled his decision to flee in the first place. He was able to get a real-time lesson in how cross-jurisdiction enforcement works.
Officers learned that Jacobs was contracted to deliver medications to hospice patients. Officers picked up the rest of his route and made sure the medications made it to the right people.
Jacobs was booked into the Tulsa County Jail for:
– Endangering Others While Eluding a Police Officer
– Obstruction
– Resisting
This is an arrest, not a conviction.
