The city of Owasso won’t accept the decision of an arbiter in the case of Michael Denton.
Denton was caught on tape elbowing a man, Bryan Spradlin, in the face, while bringing him in for arrest.
An arbiter in the case ruled that the action didn’t warrant Denton losing his job, and directed Owasso to re-hire him.
City Manager Rodney Ray announced today that he’s asked city attorneys to appeal that ruling in Tulsa County district court.
