Story summary

On October 1, 2026, an Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to a burglary in progress at a vacant home on Sunset Lane in Hollywood, Oklahoma. The deputy found Rayven Lee Wooten, 24, of Nicoma Park, allegedly stealing copper wire from a dishwasher inside the home. When ordered by the deputy to get on his knees with hands visible, Wooten instead ran and dove headfirst through a closed living room window. After escaping initially, deputies tracked him down using an identification card he had left in his backpack. The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office shared the bodycam footage of the incident, noting that "the suspect took the phrase 'Make a break for it' too literally," adding humorously that Wooten missed his calling as a Hollywood stuntman.
