This is gonna be a short one. Promise.

Only in Oklahoma does this stuff happen.

ELK CITY, Oklahoma -

An Elk City man proposed to his girlfriend while an officer was trying to arrest him on two outstanding warrants.

According to Elk City police, at about 6:45 p.m. Friday, an officer saw 32-year-old Justin Other Harrel standing in line at the Carousel at Ackley Park, and determined that Harrel has two outstanding warrants out of Washita and Greer Counties.

According to court documents, in both counties, Harrel is wanted for obtaining cash and/or merchandise by bogus check.

Police say Harrel resisted arrest at first. When the officer eventually took him into custody, he explained that he was about to propose to his girlfriend and asked if he could go ahead and do so.

The officer said he allowed Harrel to complete the marriage proposal, and his girlfriend said yes. Harrel then asked the officer to get the ring from his left inside coat pocket and give it to her.

The officer obtained the ring and handed it to the girlfriend, according to the police report.

Harrel was then transported to the Elk City Police Department as he awaits transport by Washita County or Greer County authorities. He was not cited for resisting an officer.

I think it's pretty funny and somewhat original although I'm sure he didn't plan on being arrested. It sort of sounds like white trailer trash type stuff if you ask me!

Rednecks. They live in my state!

But on a brighter note, I have A LOT of respect for that police officer. A lot of people will look down on police as the "filthy crooked pigs" but there are a lot of them in small towns are are really good people. Like this guy. You know, he didn't have to let him do that. He could have just been a hard ass and shoved the guy into the car and took off. The cop is only doing his job. So yeah, respect for that officer. Give that man a medal.
