Bodycam video shows deputies arrest Claremore man accused of Peeping Tom at Tulsa store

The Tulsa Police Department said charges have been filed against a Claremore man accused of recording under a woman's skirt 11 times at a Hobby Lobby store in Tulsa last year.

TPD said the suspect, Kendrick Oakley, entered the store near 71st and Mingo on July 9, 2024, around 3 p.m. An affidavit says that security at the store saw Oakley following a woman and using his cell phone to record her when she was not looking.

Throughout an investigation, detectives identified Oakley as the suspect. On August 6, 2025, he was charged with 11 counts of Peeping Tom with a cell phone by the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office.

Tulsa Police shared the following post online on Wednesday, saying he's been charged with 11 counts of Peeping Tom.

The Rogers County Sheriff's Office told News On 6 that Oakley is in custody on Wednesday evening. He's been booked into the county jail.

Oakley is listed as a pastor on a Claremore church's website. When News On 6 called the church, the person who answered said he is fighting the charges.

Statement from the Tulsa County District Attorney's Office regarding the delay in charges being filed:

“Mr. Oakley’s initial prosecution was declined by our office because Mr. Oakley claimed he was Indian, and therefore not able to be prosecuted by the State due to McGirt case law that prevents the State from having jurisdictional authority to prosecute. The Cherokee Nation also submitted a letter stating that Mr. Oakley may meet the criteria for being a Cherokee Nation citizen, and that his blood quantum should be investigated.

Mr. Oakley was afforded due process and it was determined by the court that McGirt was not applicable to his case, and that he did not meet the criteria for Cherokee citizenship. This ruling reinforced that the State did have proper jurisdiction to prosecute Mr. Oakley.

Once the State received that verification, our office expeditiously re-filed charges against Mr. Oakley on August 1st, 2025.

This is another example of why it is so important for there to be concurrent criminal jurisdiction between Indian Nations and the State of Oklahoma in order to prosecute cases in a timely manner.”
