Oklahoma City, Okla. (KOKH) — A Pottawatomie County sheriff's commander was jailed for assaulting an employee at an adult store.

Investigators said the incident happened Monday night in Oklahoma City at Christie's Toy Box off SE 89th.

David Dewitt was booked for assault and battery.

According to a police report, when the responding officer arrived, he noticed that the victim, a store clerk, had blood on his face and shirt.

The victim told the officer that Dewitt and a woman were walking in the store, and every time the woman wanted something, Dewitt started arguing with her.

In the report, the victim said Dewitt told the woman that she did not need the merchandise because the sex toy was "bigger than him."

Dewitt allegedly raised his hands multiple times like he was about to backhand the woman, according to the police report, and that is when the clerk intervened by asking Dewitt to calm down and that he should leave the store. The victim said that Dewitt responded by saying, "F**k you, I'm a cop."

Eventually, Dewitt and the woman made their way to the counter to make a purchase.

As the items were placed on the counter, the victim asked the two if they needed batteries for the large battery-operated sex toy. In the report, the victim told officers that Dewitt got angry and said that he should have asked them if they needed batteries before testing the sex toy.

The clerk said it was company policy and he could not change it.

According to the woman with Dewitt, Dewitt responded by asking, "What the f**k you say to me, fat boy?"

"Dude, get the f**k out of my face," the clerk responded.

Dewitt is said to have responded by going behind the counter and punching the worker in the face.

After getting punched, the clerk asked Dewitt to leave, and that is when Dewitt started punching him several more times in the face and the rib cage area, according to the police report.

Police said when Dewitt left from behind the counter, he slung a clear bucket full of suckers across the store and a two-tier container with mints across the store.

While Dewitt and the woman left the store, the clerk allegedly threw a boxed sex toy at Dewitt. The victim said Dewitt responded by stating, "Call the f**king cops. I'm an officer of the law. You don't f**king assault me. I can have you arrested, jailed to where you never get out."

The police report states that moments after leaving the store, Dewitt was pulled over for speeding by a Norman police officer. He was given a warning and was about to be let go until an Oklahoma State Trooper assisting the officer heard the vehicle description from the Christie's Toy Box incident matched the vehicle of the traffic stop Norman PD was conducting.

Police said the Trooper notified the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) dispatch that they had the subject and vehicle from that incident on a traffic stop.

OKCPD officers went to the location of the traffic stop, and Dewitt was taken into custody without incident.

He was booked into the Cleveland County Jail.
