The son of Food Network star Ree Drummond will continue to be stripped of his driver’s license as a judge has rejected his appeal to get it reinstated.
This happened just weeks before he’s due to return for the 2025 football season at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Bryce Drummond, 22, had his license temporarily revoked after he was arrested in May 2024 on suspicion of being in control of a vehicle while intoxicated, per The Oklahoman.
In April, a Payne County judge dismissed that misdemeanor charge, but his arrest caused a separate civil action by Service Oklahoma.
This action resulted in Bryce losing his right to drive freely for 180 days.
Bryce was allowed to continue to drive his own car with an interlock device that prevents a vehicle from driving unless the driver provides a clean breath test, per the terms of his revocation.
His attorney, Ky Corley, later filed an appeal, arguing the traffic stop was unlawful.
However, during the appeals process, the 22-year-old was pulled over in Osage County and was given a ticket for driving with a revoked license.

Due to his pending appeal, the local court dismissed the charge.
But now, the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals has upheld the revocation of his license after deciding the district court did not make an error.
Following the August 1 ruling, Bryce’s lawyer said he plans to appeal the decision to the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
In May 2024, Bryce was stopped by police near his home.
Police were investigating a separate disturbance in the area and saw the lights of his parked pickup truck turn on.
They approached his car to find the football player in the driver’s seat, and performed a field sobriety test that revealed ‘clues of intoxication,’ per USA Today.
Bryce was arrested on suspicion of actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence.
The misdemeanor charge was dismissed by Payne County Special District Judge Susan Worthington after she found the police didn’t have probable cause for his arrest.

Prosecutors said they planned to appeal the ruling, but no action has been taken, and the appeal process deadline has now passed.
