Glenpool Hotel Sting Leads to Arrest of 5, Including Local Pastor
Hey everyone, there’s a pretty shocking story coming out of Glenpool, Oklahoma that’s been making headlines. On Thursday evening, a sting operation at a local hotel ended with five men being arrested, and the details are catching a lot of attention—especially because one of the men is a local pastor.
The arrests happened at the Comfort Inn, where authorities say each of the men had been in contact with undercover officers online before switching to text messages that led to the meeting. When they arrived at the hotel, all five were taken into custody. Among those arrested were Rohan BhoJwanti, 30, and Matthew Eddy, 28, both from Tulsa; David Raridon, 60, from Missouri; Christopher LeBleu, 54, from Louisiana; and Jeremy Fair, 49, from Tulsa. All but Raridon were charged with soliciting prostitution, while Raridon faces a complaint of solicitation of a minor.
The arrest of Jeremy Fair has been particularly noteworthy because he had been serving as Senior Pastor at Christ Presbyterian Church in Tulsa. Following his arrest, the church placed him on indefinite leave while they navigate the ongoing investigation. A statement from church leadership confirmed that the process is being handled according to the denomination’s procedures, but they stressed that details are still emerging.

What makes this case even more unusual is the variety of backgrounds the men come from. According to police, occupations range from firefighters to business owners to a school district finance manager. Glenpool Police Chief Jeremy Plane pointed out that it’s always surprising to the public when community leaders are involved in situations like this, although in his experience, the behavior of individuals can’t always be predicted.
The sting operation itself was part of a multi-agency effort. Glenpool hosted training with a non-profit called Skull Games, which involved several law enforcement agencies, including the Oklahoma Attorney General’s office, the Grand River Dam Authority, Catoosa Police Department, and the Cherokee Marshals. Chief Plane clarified that the men weren’t working together—they contacted officers individually and arrived at the hotel separately throughout the day.
It’s a story that’s drawn a lot of attention because it highlights how law enforcement uses undercover operations to catch illegal activity, but also because of the unexpected identities of those involved. For the people of Tulsa and Glenpool, this is a reminder that sometimes the most surprising people can be caught up in serious legal trouble, and that investigations like these continue to play a crucial role in public safety.
All five men were booked into the Tulsa County Jail, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities are continuing to gather details and emphasize that the case is still unfolding, especially with sensitive charges like solicitation of a minor involved.
It’s certainly a reminder that even in quiet communities, serious crime investigations are active, and law enforcement works behind the scenes to ensure accountability.
