The Broken Arrow Police Department and Muscogee Creek Nation Lighthorse Police are searching for a man who allegedly severely beat a woman Sunday and put her in the hospital.
Police are asking for the public’s help in finding Zackery Tyler Wise, who has outstanding warrants for domestic assault and battery resulting in great bodily harm and threatening an act of violence. An arrest warrant has been issued for Wise, who is known to frequent Broken Arrow, Coweta and Tahlequah.
Wise, 19, is approximately 5-9 and 140 pounds, with hazel eyes. Court records show Wise was convicted last year of violating a protective order twice and he was sentenced in January to 30 days in jail and $1,500 in fines.
“Due to the nature of these charges, Wise should be considered potentially dangerous. Do not attempt to approach him,” BAPD said Monday.
Family and friends of the victim, Wise’s ex-girlfriend Shealyn Petree, said she was beaten so severely that both her eyes were swollen shut, a photo of which was shown on Facebook. Wise worked at his parent’s business in Coweta, The Pass By, an ice cream shop, but they say he hasn’t worked there in weeks.
“What he did to her is beyond words. She is really messed up and he needs to pay for his actions,” they said. “His mother and I do not condone this in any way and are working with the BA and Coweta police departments.
“Anyone who knows us also knows we don’t tolerate this type of behavior. He hasn’t worked the shop in weeks and will not ever be allowed back there or at our house. We love this community dearly and are sincerely sorry. We are even more sorry for the young lady and what happened to her. She didn’t deserve any of it regardless of the situation they were in.”
Anyone with information regarding Wise or his whereabouts is encouraged to contact the BAPD at 918-259-8400.
