Stillwater man admits attacking two medical care providers

  (Stillwater, Okla.) — A 31-year-old Stillwater man was placed on two years’ probation Wednesday after he admitted attacking two female medical providers at Grand Mental Health where he was a client last year.

    Christian Lee McClellan was ordered Wednesday by Associate District Judge Michael Kulling to continue mental health treatment, have a substance abuse evaluation, follow its recommendations, undergo random drug tests, provide a DNA sample, and enroll in Work Force Oklahoma.

    McClellan was also ordered to pay $1,000 in various assessments along with court costs as a condition of probation.

    McClellan had been arrested at 12:54 pm on March 11, 2023, at the Stillwater Medical Center where he was being treated for a head injury suffered during the altercation, according to an affidavit by Stillwater Police Officer William Cluck, who had been sent earlier to Grand Mental Health.

    “I was told that Christian McClellan was a client and trying to leave the facility. McClellan became upset and aggressive when he was told he had not completed the proper steps to check out. McClellan was warned that if he continued to be aggressive with staff he would be placed in a hold and sedated,” the officer wrote in his affidavit.

    “McClellan continued to be aggressive and began fighting with staff when they tried to hold him down. During the altercation, McClellan punched (one provider) in the legs. McClellan spit in (her) face and (another provider’s) face,” the affidavit said.

    When the officer talked to McClellan, he acknowledged “that he was involved in an altercation with staff but stated the staff started it. McClellan denied spitting, but stated he drools a lot and sometimes spits when he talks. McClellan seemed coherent enough to answer questions and seemed to know what he was doing,” the affidavit said.
