OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – House Democrats have called on Governor Kevin Stitt to call for a special session to impeach Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Todd Hiett.
Hiett was recently accused of groping another man during a conference in Minnesota in June. The man, who has not been identified, reportedly worked for an agency that has a business relationship with the Corporation Commission.
Hiett made his first public appearance since the accusations surfaced during the Oklahoma Corporation Commissioners meeting Wednesday.
“I call on Commissioner Hiett to resign his position immediately,” said fellow Commissioner Bob Anthony. “This agency needs to stand for transparency and truth.”
According to documents obtained by News 4 through an open records request, Kansas Corporation Commission employees allegedly witnessed the incident. They said, in the documents, that Hiett was “severely intoxicated.”
The documents also stated that Hiett came over to the witnesses’ table at a hotel bar and started touching the shoulder and arm of the man before placing his hand on the man’s leg and groin.
