Tulsa Police Arrest Man Accused of Liquor-Store Robbery With Antique Derringer

The 24-year-old remains jailed on a $75,000 bond pending further investigative steps.

Overview

  • Police say the suspect first tried to buy alcohol without ID, then returned and pointed an antique firearm at employees while demanding cash and their IDs.
  • Witnesses described the weapon as an “old-timey musket,” and police identified it as a likely mid-1800s single-shot percussion derringer that remains functional.
  • Officers arrested Dyllon Redfern around 3:25 a.m. after a tip from a nearby QuikTrip led them to a shopping center parking area.
  • Investigators recovered the antique gun along with allegedly stolen cash and identification cards during the arrest.
  • Redfern is booked on armed and first-degree robbery offenses in Tulsa County Jail, and authorities have not released details on injuries or court proceedings.
