EPIC FAIL: Bike Thief's Tumble Caught on Tape !!!

A bicycle thief's getaway only lasted a few feet before he crashed and wrecked the bike. The thief's klutzy inability to ride his hot wheels was caught on a surveillance tape and has been turned into a wanted poster with laughs.

The suspect threw a cinder block through a window of the Spoke House Bicycles store in Tulsa, Okla., around 6 a.m. Wednesday, and stole a $500 mountain bike, according to local ABC affiliate KTUL.

As soon as he had made it out of the store with the bike, the man, dressed in hooded sweatshirt, took a violent spill. Video captured by surveillance cameras at the car wash next door to the bike store shows the man plowing head-first over the handlebars and face-planting into the asphalt.

"Honk 4 Bad" 8 year old suspended for calling teacher a B**** had to stand outside with this sign !!! ~ VIDEO

OKLAHOMA CITY — A third grade boy has been suspended from school after calling two teachers a bad word that starts with the letter “B.”

When the single father picked up the boy from school, he had so go back to work, with no babysitter so the boy came along.

But Kevin Conley took creative disciplinary actions; he made his son stand outside with a sign reading, “I called my teacher a B****. Honk 4 bad.”

“I want him to realize every time someone honks, how bad what he did was. I want my boys to be upstanding and know not to call women that name ever,” Conley said.

People who agreed with the non-traditional discipline honked, others raised an eyebrow.

Passerby James Holmes said, “I think it’s a good idea. You can’t go around calling your teachers bad names.”

The 8 year old stood outside for hours but he got water breaks every thirty minutes, bathroom breaks and even lunch, minus the dessert.

“He didn’t get his pudding and he didn’t get his swiss cake but he got his sandwich and chips and cheese,” Conley said. More

Oklahoma Marine's final act of valor saved friend from plane wreck

An Oklahoma Marine made the ultimate sacrifice when he pulled a friend out of a fiery plane wreck, saving her life but suffering fatal burns over 90 percent of his body.

Friends of Hannah Luce, the lone survivor of Friday's crash of a twin-engine Cessna 401 just northwest of Chanute, Kan., hailed Austin Anderson as a hero who gave his life without a second thought. The pair was among five young adults bound from Tulsa for a Christian youth group conference in Iowa.

“He is a very tough guy, but once you got to know he was such much of a teddy bear,” Lauren Rockett said of the man she got to know at Oral Roberts University. “It would be totally like Austin's character.”

Portable meth lab explodes in Oklahoma man's pants. VIDEO

OKMULGEE COUNTY, Okla. -- A portable meth lab exploded in an Oklahoma man's pants Friday during a scuffle with a state trooper.

David Williams ran from a police officer who noticed a chemical smell as he was issuing a speeding ticket to the driver of the SUV Williams was a passenger in, KOTV reported.

The officer caught up with Williams and in the ensuing struggle, an "active meth lab" he had been hiding in his pants burst, Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper Shiloh Hall told the station.

Police closed 221st Street in Okmulgee County, about 90 miles (150km) east of Oklahoma City, to clean up the scene.

Although meth was dripping down Williams' leg, he was uninjured. He was arrested on a complaint of manufacturing a controlled and dangerous substance.

Oklahoma town evacuated over propane leak

MEDFORD, Okla. – The town of Medford in northern Oklahoma is evacuating because of a propane leak at a hydrocarbon plant.

The evacuation advisory is for 3 p.m. for the town of nearly 1,000, about 120 miles north of Oklahoma City.

A spokesman for the American Red Cross of Central Oklahoma says the evacuation was prompted because windy weather was blowing the propane toward the town.

A shelter will open in nearby Wakita, and Red Cross spokesman Rusty Surette says residents should bring clothes, bedding, medication and identification.

The leak started Tuesday night at the ONEOK (WUHN'-ohk) plant, and it's shut down U.S. Highway 81 in Medford.

Meteor causes stir in Oklahoma

Did you see it ??? Click here to report a meteor / fireball

Relax — the sky is not falling.

A spokesman with the Federal Aviation Administration said late tonight that the flying fireball in the sky was most likely a meteor.

“Given that it was seen by a large number of people across so many miles makes it likely it was a meteor or a piece of space junk, but most likely a meteor,” said spokesman Lynn Lunsford with the FAA’s Southwest region office.

The administration has received reports from as far north as Oklahoma to as far south as Houston, Lunsford said.

Earlier: Possible meteor sightings have been reported in Texas and Oklahoma this evening, according to news reports.

Multiple reports of sightings have come in to officials from across Travis County, including Pflugerville, Manor and Bee Cave, but so far deputies have not found any damage, according to the Travis County sheriff’s office.

One caller from Manor reported seeing an object with flying sparks fall from the sky for about eight seconds, the office reported.

TV stations in Waco and Oklahoma City both quoted the Federal Aviation Administration as saying the object was a meteor.

In Austin, KVUE meteorologist Mark Murray noted on Twitter that “These fireballs look a lot closer than they really are.”

Court sets back Oklahoma's ban on Islamic law

(Reuters) - An Oklahoma initiative that would prevent its courts from considering Islamic law in deciding cases likely discriminates against religion, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday, upholding an injunction against it.

A three-member panel of the Denver-based U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the rights of plaintiff Muneer Awad, a Muslim man living in Oklahoma City, likely would be violated if the ban on Sharia law takes effect.

The decision upholds the ruling of a lower federal court.

"While the public has an interest in the will of the voters being carried out ... the public has a more profound and long-term interest in upholding an individual's constitutional rights," the appeals court said in a 37-page written decision.

The Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations welcomed the ruling, calling it "a victory for the Constitution and for the right of all Americans to freely practice their faith."

Oklahoma's "Save Our State Amendment," which was approved by 70 percent of state voters in 2010, bars Oklahoma state courts from considering or using Sharia law.

The lawsuit challenging the measure was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of Awad, who is director of the Oklahoma chapter of CAIR.

A federal judge in Oklahoma City issued a court order in November of 2010 barring the measure from taking effect while the case is under review, finding a substantial likelihood that Awad would prevail on the merits.

The Council said the Oklahoma amendment is among 20 similar proposed laws introduced in state legislatures nationwide.

Defenders of the amendment say they want to prevent foreign laws in general, and Islamic law, also known as Sharia, in particular from overriding state or U.S. laws.

But foes of the Oklahoma measure, also called State Question 755, have argued that it stigmatizes Islam and its adherents and violates the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment prohibition against the government favoring one religion over another.

Opponents also say it could nullify wills or legal contracts between Muslims because they incorporate by reference specific elements of Islamic prophetic traditions.

WTF ??? Sarah Mckinley the Mother who shot intruder faces national criticism !!!

BLANCHARD, Okla. -- Sarah Mckinley is responding to rumors circulating about a recent home invasion where she shot and killed 24-year-old Justin Martin. Mckinley says Martin and Dustin Stewart came to her home trying to get inside.


Some blogs lit up with people saying there is more to the story, like Mckinley had an intimate relationship with Martin and he was actually the father of the child, not her deceased husband.


Mckinley says, "I do not know Justin. I've seen him maybe three times before and for short encounters. I can prove who my son's father is, if I need to do that, I can get a DNA test or take a lie detector test." 


Her deceased husband, Kenny Mckinley, is on the birth certificate. 


Some went so far as to suggest Mckinley is not the innocent widower and single mother she as she has been portrayed.


"This is a national story and people will say things and have an opinion. I understand that. A lot of it is from his family and friends (of Martin) and of course they are going to stick up for him," she said.

John Rich Reaching Out to Young Oklahoma Mother Sarah McKinley Who Shot and Killed Intruder !!!

On New Year’s Eve, an 18-year-old Oklahoma mother shot and killed an intruder to protect her 3-month-old baby, after she had just lost her husband to cancer on Christmas day. Now, John Rich of Big and Rich is on a mission to find this young mother and give her some much-needed help.

“I’d like to find this woman who shot the intruder,” he said via Twitter. “Her husband died from cancer on Christmas day and she has a newborn. How do we find her?” In a later tweet, he said,” Thx for helping me find this young woman. Can’t imagine how she feels. 18 yrs old, baby is 3 months, husband just passed. Now this? 2MUCH.”


Though Rich still hasn’t been able to secure the woman’s direct contact, he’s confident that he will be able to find and help her.


The young woman, Sarah McKinley of Oklahoma City, says a man named Justin Martin showed up at her husband’s funeral claiming to be a neighbor. But when he showed up at her home on New Year’s Eve with another man, Dustin Stewart, he was armed with a 12-inch hunting knife and attempting to break down her locked doors.


In a desperate attempt to protect her infant, McKinley grabbed a 12 gauge and a pistol and dialed 911, asking a dispatcher if it was OK to shoot Martin if he got into the house. According to reports from ABC News, the dispatcher said, “I can’t tell you that you can do that, but you do what you have to do to protect your baby.”


Moments later, Martin kicked down the door and ran at McKinley with a knife, but the young mother shot and killed him before he could inflict harm on her or the baby. Police have deemed this a justified shooting because Martin was an unauthorized person in someone else’s home. And while McKinley told reporters that she didn’t want to do it, she said she knew it was going to be the intruder or her son, and she wasn’t going to allow the latter to occur.


Rich is keeping his Twitter fans updated, promising, “I’ll let you know the plan to help her once we see what her situation is. I’m ON IT.”

Teen Mom Sarah McKinley Calls 9-1-1, Then Shoots Intruder to Protect Her Baby

A teenage mom took action recently when an intruder broke into her Oklahoma home. Sarah McKinley shot and killed the man after calling 911 and speaking to a dispatcher who, upon being asked by McKinley if she should shoot the suspect, answered that she should do whatever necessary to ‘protect her baby.’ McKinley says she did just that.

According to the 18-year-old’s account, two men began beating on her front door, prompting McKinley to take her three-month-old baby and lock herself in a room with a gun before calling emergency dispatch.

When the intruders finally got through the door, the mom had no more time left to wait for police and made a judgment call.

“I waited ’til he came in the door, and when he did I shot him. I didn’t know what else to do … I wanted [the police] to hurry and get here before I had to do it, but they didn’t get here quick enough,” she said.

Oklahoma Agents To Crack Down On Drunks Inside BARS !!!

TULSA, Oklahoma - New Year's weekend is big time for parties. Lots of people will go to bars to ring in the New Year. That's why Tulsa officers, state troopers and Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission (ABLE) agents will be out in force, looking for drunks - and not just on the roads.
Few people realize it's against the law to be drunk inside a bar, but it is. That's why officers are not just going to be patrolling the streets looking for drunk drivers, they're also going to be inside bars and in the parking lots, arresting people before they ever have a chance to get behind the wheel.


In Tulsa, for example, more than two dozen officers will be looking for drunks who are driving or might drive.


"When it comes to DUIs on the streets, over 50 percent of those arrested for DUI come from a bar," said Erik Smoot of ABLE.


That's why there will be a special emphasis on bars.
Officers can arrest people for public intox inside bars. They can also arrest bartenders for serving customers who are intoxicated - that's a felony.Read More
