OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — One person died after being ran over three times following an incident at a metro strip club.

The Oklahoma City Police Department reports that Michael Burke, 28, was arrested Jan. 21 on a complaint of manslaughter in the first degree.

The vehicle was stopped by an officer near I-40 and Meridian. The officer noted that Burke was "noticeably intoxicated".

He was then arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail. The victim in the incident later died. The victim has not yet been identified.
