Son of Pioneer Woman loses appeal of driver's license revocation
Bryce Drummond, who played football for Oklahoma State University, got his license temporarily revoked by Service Oklahoma after Stillwater police arrested him in 2024 on suspicion of being in control of a vehicle while intoxicated.
A Payne County judge dismissed that misdemeanor charge in April. But the arrest triggered a separate civil action by Service Oklahoma that stripped Drummond of his right to freely drive for 180 days.
Under terms of the revocation found in court records, he was allowed to continue driving his personal vehicle with an interlock device that prevents a vehicle from operating unless the driver provides a clean breath sample. The terms also allowed him to drive an employer's vehicle that does not have the device installed.

Drummond and his attorney, Ky Corley, appealed the driver's license revocation, asking whether the officer had authority to approach the vehicle without a warrant, whether he had reasonable suspicion to question Drummond and whether there was evidence of Drummond being in "actual physical control" of a vehicle while on public roads, highways, streets, turnpikes or any other public place.
During the appeals process, Drummond was pulled over in Osage County and given a ticket for driving with a revoked license, but the local court dismissed the charge because of his pending appeal.
The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals upheld his revocation, finding that the district court did not make an error. The ruling was made Aug. 1. Corley told The Oklahoman he plans to appeal the decision to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
Bryce Drummond played football at OSU until 2024. He was listed as a graduation candidate in spring 2025.
His encounter with police occurred in the early morning hours of May 11, 2024. A Stillwater police officer was investigating a disturbance near Drummond's home when he saw the lights of a nearby parked pickup truck turn on.
The officer approached the truck and found Drummond in the driver's seat. A field sobriety test revealed clues of intoxication, the officer wrote in his report.
Drummond was arrested on suspicion of actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence. Payne County Special District Judge Susan Worthington later dismissed the misdemeanor charge, ruling that the officer did not have probable cause to make the arrest. Although prosecutors indicated in court they would appeal the ruling, they did not do so. The deadline to begin that appeal process has passed.
