OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — Oklahomans showed up to a meeting Tuesday with continued calls for Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner Todd Hiett’s resignation, who suggested he’s been the target of another commissioner’s personal vendetta.
The comments stem from allegations that Hiett groped a man while drunk on a Minneapolis work trip back in June . Complaints to the Kansas Corporation Commission obtained by New 4 allege the incident happened at a hotel bar and involved an employee of a utility partner that reports to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
Commissioner Bob Anthony formally called for Hiett’s resignation after learning about the allegations, but Hiett refused citing that his duties were too important for him to resign; acknowledging he was seeking professional help and had no recollection of the incident.
“I think the only solution is to clean house,” Anthony said Tuesday.
