Patrick Dejarlait

By Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — There have been several on social media who are questioning the bond release conditions of Patrick Desjarlait, 28, of Ponca City after an Aug. 17 incident at a South Haven area convenience store. Desjarlait is being accused of jumping into the car of a high school girl without permission and allegedly making suggestive remarks to her while she was driving.

A Sumner County District Judge released Desjarlait under his own recognizance on the following day.

Although Desjarlait is currently not in custody at Sumner County Jail, he is currently serving parole for being charged with personating another to create liability. He was sentenced to Oklahoma prison for 15 years, with all but seven years suspended. Desjarlait was discharged from prison on July 14, 2025 and is on parole until 2030.

So what does this mean as far as the current charges Desjarlait is facing for the alleged kidnapping attempt of the high school girl in Sumner County? He is currently charged with aggravated vehicular burglary, a level 5 felony, and attempted battery, a misdemeanor.

According to the conditions of the bond, Desjarlait must submit to the following stipulations. The defendant shall: •Report to Court Services Officer and provide a working number;

•He must obey all Federal and State laws, Municipal, and County Ordinances;

•He shall not use alcohol or illegal drugs, and must submit to random screenings as requested by the CSO;

•Defendant shall comply with RePath Mobile Application GPS tracking;

•Defendant shall have no contact with any victims in the case;

•Defendant shall reside at the address reported to the court upon their release and shall not vacate that address without notifying the supervising ISO/CSO.

•Defendant shall make all scheduled court appearances and provide contact information to a court-appointed attorney.

•He shall comply with all bond conditions, as ordered by the Court.

The RePath mobile application on Dejarlait’s cell phone will track his precise location, physical activity, and notifications, and access the camera, microphone, battery optimization settings, and background app access. He must comply with all check-ins, including facial recognition photos.

Patrick Desjarlait at Sumner County jail last week. 

At about 6:57 p.m. on Aug. 17, Sumner County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the 1600 block of South Greenwich Road regarding a reported burglary in progress and vehicle accident.

Deputies learned that an adult male, later identified as Desjarlait, had entered the rear of a vehicle without the knowledge of a young South Haven area woman. The driver reported discovering the male inside the vehicle after leaving the nearby business, identified by sources as Jump Start Convenience Store, east of South Haven, while en route to her home.

During the incident, the driver entered a ditch near Greenwich Road and U.S. Highway 166 and later struck a tree at a nearby residence. She was able to escape.

The deputies eventually apprehended Desjarlait, who provided a different account of the circumstances, according to the sheriff’s report. Deputies also contacted employees at the convenience store, who confirmed the male had been at the location prior to the incident. Surveillance footage is being sought as part of the ongoing investigation, the sheriff’s report said.

According to the criminal complaint filed by the Sumner County Attorney’s Office, Desjarlait entered a convenience store to purchase a drink before entering the back seat of the vehicle, at which point the victim began traveling toward her home, unaware that he was in the backseat. Upon hearing him in the back seat, the victim noticed the defendant allegedly had his pants down. He then allegedly made lewd comments to her.

After he was detained by authorities, according to the complaint, he angrily threw a bottle of 5-hour Energy drink at the victim’s mother, but the bottle failed to hit the victim.

Desjarlait has a list of charges, according to data collected by the Kay Newscow.

In 2019, he was charged with burglary, concealing stolen property, grand larceny of an auto, and third-degree burglary.

In 2020, he was charged with falsely personating another to create liability.

On April 20, 2022, a petition was filed to remove him from mental health court. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison with all but seven years suspended.

Desjarlait was discharged from prison on July 14, 2025, and is on parole until 2030.

The Sumner County investigation remains active.
