Patterson, 27, said he suffered "one of my most embarrassing moments" when his gun fired.
"I had good intentions, but I screwed the whole thing up," said Patterson.
"At first, I didn't feel anything at all," he added, talking readily about the incident Thursday at his parents' Bristow home.
"Then about 30 seconds later, I felt that burning, stinging."
He felt something warm trickling down his left leg and found an exit wound.
Patterson said he walked into his parents' home and said, "Mom, I did something bad."
Patterson said he was told to keep walking to avoid complications as the wound healed.
"It hurts fiercely now," he said while walking slowly and gingerly.
Law enforcement officers searching for escaped inmate Raymond Lee Smith, 26, who ran from a Bristow courtroom Wednesday, stopped their hunt when Patterson's gunshot wound was reported.
Smith fled a courtroom in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit and was still at large Thursday. He was facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a police officer.
