An Oklahoma man picked a strange time to propose to his girlfriend, while in the process of getting arrested. Brandon Thompson popped the question right before cops popped him into a police cruiser for transport to the local jail.
Police officers were arresting Thompson, 35, at his Muskogee home on July 4 when he made an odd request. He wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Leandria Keith. A police body camera caught the moment Thompson got down on one knee.
“I didn’t want to part ways with her not showing exactly how I feel for her,” Thompson told CNN by phone. “I want her to be my wife for the rest of my life.”
Turns out, the family was celebrating Thompson’s birthday in their front yard when police officers showed up. Officers recognized Thompson from the several felony warrants out for his arrest.
The officers were in the process of detaining Thompson in the front yard when he made his weird but in some way touching request.
“I asked the officer if I could propose,” said Thompson. “The officer said, ‘You want to do what?’ and I said, ‘I want to propose to her.’”
