Bond revoked for businessman accused of killing employee

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Oklahoma judge has revoked the bond of a local white businessman accused of killing a Black man who worked for him.

Judge Susan Worthington revoked the bond of 67-year-old Daniel Triplett on Friday after a prosecutor said he was spotted in a bank drive-through and at a local Waffle House in violation of his bond conditions.

Worthington allowed Triplett to be released on a $500,000 bond last month over the objection of prosecutors and the victim's family. An attorney for the victim's family, Damario Solomon-Simmons, says he believes Triplett was granted bond because he is a prominent white businessman accused of killing a Black man.

A message left Friday with the judge wasn't immediately returned.
