"Perfect choice" of red SUV turned into embarrassment for Oklahoma Department of Public Safety

After being named to the No. 2 position at the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Assistant Commissioner Megan Simpson had an important decision to make.

She had to pick the color for her new state-provided Chevy Tahoe.

"There's a bright red with black leather interior," she told the DPS fleet director in a March 12 email.

"Yes, I know it's slightly more," she wrote. "Yes, I know it's not the typical color. But as you would readily agree I'm sure I'm not the typical #2 and you're not the typical fleet manager, so I know it's the perfect choice!"
