the
weather.
You're watching the Fox 25 late
edition.
We continue to track severe
weather around the state. Thanks
for joining us tonight. I'm Mike
Brooks. I'm Wendy Suarez, Fox
25 chief meteorologist Jeff
George and our team of weather
trackers have been monitoring
the storms for us. Jeff. Good
evening, everyone. Yes, your
stormy and severe weather
threat will continue for the
next few days. We'll be
looking at the threat of severe
weather. It will be isolated.
It's a slight risk. I 40 down
towards the river central on
southern Oklahoma. That does
include Oklahoma City damaging
winds and hail will be your
main threats overnight tonight
into your morning drive. Slight
risk of severe weather will be
out there tomorrow afternoon,
too, and we're gonna keep that
very low threat of severe
weather in the forecast
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
this week before things start
to clear out this weekend.
Right now, all your rain
showers and thunderstorms will
be out there. We'll be
looking at the threat of
severe weather. It will be
isolated. It will be isolated
into the eastern parts of the
state. Now these
thunderstorms are heavy and
strong, but nothing severe
right now, and this is where
the stormy and the rain showers
and thunderstorms will stay for
the rest of the evening. But
after midnight tonight, a huge
wave of rain and thunder comes
right now direction. It comes
pumping out of Texas from the
Panhandles, Northern Texas. It
comes flying in with a strong
and severe weather threat once
again overnight tonight and
then again tomorrow. We'll be
looking at the threat of
severe weather. We'll be
looking at the threat of
severe weather. We'll be
looking at the threat of
severe weather in parts of the
state tonight. Severe risk is
possible once again for
tomorrow. We'll talk about the
timing and where your highest
threat is going to be weekend
thunderstorms are possible, too.
We have a lot more to talk
about your full forecast real
soon. Caught on surveillance
video in Yukon, a man peeping
into a family's windows, but
the family says is peeping Dom
did something even more
dangerous. He was just
peeping into the window. He
was just peeping into the
window. That's right. The
family checked their security
camera footage after they found
human feces in their yard after
the dog rolled in it. Now other
neighbors are also coming
forward. He had human poo all
over her, so they checked their
security cameras and sure
enough, this man had been
snooping around and then he
checked the cameras and we saw
that he was peeping into the
window. He was just peeping
into the window. He was just
peeping into our windows.
Meanwhile, the family who asked
not to be identified slept
inside with two young Children,
ages five and 10. In this video,
we see the man look through
windows, then walk off camera
appearing to use the bathroom,
then continue around the
family's home. We're terrified.
We actually are. We don't even
own this time. We were leasing
out the house. We were
trying to find a place to live
and we were trying to find the
lease. Do we move back into our
other house? Like what are our
options at this point? What do
we do reporting in Yukon?
Jennifer falsetti, Fox 25 news.
All new at 10 Oklahoma police
now have Michael Beam in
custody after he was wanted for
the rape of a 13 year old girl
last month, police telling Fox
25 he was hiding out in an
apartment complex in Clayton in
the city of Yukon. He's been
arrested for the rape of a
13 year old girl last month.
Police are now searching for
evidence to charge him. The
severe weather season. If you
hear a tornado siren in
Oklahoma City, you will want to
take cover. Yeah, tonight
officials do want to remind
people about a new siren policy
that changes the way that you
are warned about a tornado.
25. Cotton Mills reports for
us. Mike and Wendy this year
when you hear one of these
tornado sirens, you may be in
danger. A new policy is in
place in the city when there's
a tornado. The city of Oklahoma
City is a city that is
constantly getting off the ones
in the direct path of a
tornado. A sound all too
familiar to Oklahomans so
familiar that Oklahoma City
officials say people often
ignore it. The city of Oklahoma
City is so large at 620 square
miles. Um, that you know, when
we did a county based warning
for all of our sirens in a
city like Oklahoma City, we
would have to take the sirens
more seriously. The city of
Oklahoma City has updated
their siren policy. He says in
the past when there was a
tornado warning all 182 sirens
in the city would go off. Now
Barnes wants to get the word
out. This severe weather
season, the city will only be
sounding sirens in the
immediate path of a tornado
because we're warning a smaller
area. They need to take the
sirens more seriously. So when
they hear the sirens now, we
ask them to take shelter and
stay away from the tornado
warning. We're warning a
smaller area. We're warning a
smaller area. We're warning a
smaller area. Getting to a
safe place is your best chance
at surviving a tornado. Kylin
Mills, Fox 25 News. 21 year
old Edmond missionary. We'll
spend the next 40 years behind
bars. Matthew Durham was
sentenced today in federal
court. He was found guilty on
four counts of engaging in
illicit sexual conduct in
foreign places. His victims
were Kenyan orphans between the
time of the incident and the
time of the incident. He was
sentenced to two years in
prison. He was sentenced to
two years in prison. He does
not show any remorse. He's not
sorry about what he did. Matthew
cannot show remorse because
he's not guilty. He's innocent.
Durham's attorney tells Fox 25
that he will file an appeal to
the 10th Circuit Court in that
process could last up to two
years. Governor Mary Fallon
proposing a solution to the
education funding crisis in
Oklahoma. The governor suggests
that the state should be
responsible for the
financial and financial
needs of public schools and
another 21 million for prisons
just last week, schools forced
to cut more than $100 million
on top of existing cuts. The
rainy day fund has $144 million
available to offset the revenue
failure. Days after Fox 25
revealed a potentially dangerous
escapee from a state run mental
health hospital. Maybe staying
in the metro that there have
been no requests for Oklahoma
City Police. He was arrested
for the crime of a knife in
his throat. He was arrested
for the crime of a knife in
2004 after he was accused of
using a large knife to slit the
throat of a teenager. Court
records show he is a paranoid
schizophrenic who has now been
without treatment for several
days. But Oklahoma City police
tell Fox 25 neither of the two
county agencies involved with
his case have contacted the
city for assistance in
locating him. The
controversy surrounding the
case is still ongoing. The
state's police have been
investigating the case since
the time the police officer
sentenced to 263 years in jail.
Now attorneys representing seven
of his victims in a civil suit
claim police could have stopped
holds claw much sooner. They
claim a woman not included in
the trial reported holds claw
for sexual assault in November
2013 and that her complaint was
ignored by police. This alleged
report happened months before
the string of attacks that laid
out the case. I was just
standing there and I was just
standing there and I was just
felt in my heart that I was not
the first victim. And now
there's proof that there was
someone before me and there's
no telling. How many in
between. The Oklahoma City
Police Department says it did
investigate the 2013 claim but
that at the time the woman only
complained holds claw used
excessive force never mentioned
in the case. The
investigation is still going
on. In this case, for instance,
holds claw was found to not have
used excessive force.
A new case drunk driver charged
with killing a family of three
pleads guilty. Demetrius Price
owned up to a driving drunk and
crashing into this car last
April. Lejean Fields son Jason,
his girlfriend, Shannon and
their 22 month old daughter
Ruby all died. The family says
justice is served. I can't stop
crying. I can't stop crying.
I was a little bit emotional
there. Because the old man
was a little bit scared of
putting us through a trial too.
It's just even more selfish
than he already is. Price
entered a guilty plea on three
counts of manslaughter and
three counts of causing an
accident while driving without
a valid driver's license.
Sentencing is May 10th.
Happening today, Tulsa County
commissioners will appeal a
jury verdict from last week
That jury found former sheriff Stanley Glanz was liable for actions that led to the violation of the woman's civil rights.
Glanz resigned last November. He was indicted by a grand jury after a former reserve deputy fatally shot an unarmed man.
The former sheriff is currently named in more than 20 lawsuits alleging violations of civil rights.
The Department of Agriculture has declared 47 counties in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas eligible for disaster aid after crops were lost to rain and flooding between November and December of last year.

Happening tomorrow, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting tomorrow night to discuss plans to improve State Highway 66 from Arcadia to Luther.
That meeting will take place at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church on Oder Street in Arcadia at 6 p.m.
The proposed projects are designed to improve traffic flow and public safety in the area.
Anyone is welcome to attend and the public will be able to give their input on the project.
And Wednesday, Oklahoma law enforcement officers will receive free training at the Francis Tuttle Technology Center.
That training will help law enforcement in their investigations of puppy mills, animal cruelty and animal fighting cases.
The training is being conducted in partnership with the National Sheriffs Association, the FBI and the Humane Society of Tulsa.

A Metro woman has made volunteering her life's work and she's now a national record holder.
She's making a difference at a local school district and changing lives along the way.
Fox 25 Chelsea Washington reports.
A lot has changed over the past seven decades.
Technology has changed, presidents have changed and education has changed.
One thing that's been a constant here at Millwood School District is Miss Frances Percival or Miss P as she's affectionately known.
She's volunteered here for 58 years and she's committed to helping every child she meets.
Miss P holds a record, the most volunteer hours in the nation.
But to hear her tell it, the years have just flown by and helping others has always been a way of life for this 87 year old.
Mankind needs help and I'm here. That's the reason the Lord brought me here.
Miss P first started volunteering at Millwood in August of 1958 and tonight was all about honoring her.
A 46 year tenure on the Millwood Board of Education, national awards for helping children in Oklahoma and she's been recognized by lawmakers.
So what does tonight mean to you to see all these people come together and honor you? I mean it has to be a little overwhelming I would think.
You're trying to bring tears to my eyes.
I'm not worthy of it and I love my people and apparently they love me.
She's charming, witty and her warmth is contagious. Just ask E.J. Green.
He's known Miss P for the last three years and gotten to know her so well that she even wrote one of his college recommendation letters.
Miss Percival is like the perfect grandmother just outside of bringing cookies to school.
But she cares about you, she wants to hear your story, she wants to make sure that you're doing right in school and she wants you to pretty much be the best person you can be.
Chelsea Washington, Fox 25 News.
Let's get to our forecast now with our chief meteorologist Jeff George. It's been a busy evening for you.
Yes and it will keep on getting busier and busier tonight through tomorrow. Let's go ahead and take a look at Storm Watch Stopper.
One, we have some rain and thunder going on. Brand new severe thunderstorm warning has just been posted for parts of Pontotoc County as we head towards southeast Oklahoma.
So south central heading into the eastern parts of the state. This is where the stormy and severe weather is going to be at for the rest of the evening.
After midnight tonight, a bunch of showers and thunderstorms come rumbling in from Texas.
But here we go, rain and thunder coming up from northern Texas as of right now to rant into a toka.
Sulphur Ardmore getting rained on right now. Severe thunderstorm warning is just southeast of Ada.
It does include parts of Pontotoc County and the Colgate, Kiowa, McAllister, McAllister County.
So this storm right here is a supercell and is capable of producing some large damaging wind,
large damaging, damaging wind and some large hail up to the size of golf balls as it travels to the northeast very quickly.
Other storms up this line as we head north are strong, heavy, but not severe in the Holdenville with Tomka.
Now, those storms could turn severe at any moment, and if they do, we'll be sure and let you know.
Looks like the storms are leaving. It looks like storms are leaving.
I want to say Pottawatomie County heading in Seminole County has been raining out in this direction for hours for most of the evening.
And the showers that we see here are heavy at times.
Now, the only severe thunderstorm warning is to the southeast right now, and all these other thunderstorms to the northeast are not severe.
But that severe potential will be east of I-35 for the rest of the evening.
Oklahoma City, I-35 heading westward. We should stay dry until after midnight tonight.
And here is your chance for rain showers and thunderstorms for the rest of the evening.
South Central heading into eastern Oklahoma, and the storms could be strong, heavy or severe.
And then after midnight tonight, a huge wave of rain and thunder comes up from Texas and from the Panhandles.
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible overnight tonight, even through your morning drive.
The imaging wind and hail will be your main threats, as well as some localized flooding.
And speaking of the flooding, a flash flood watch is posted for parts of South Central and Southeast Oklahoma.
That does include Ada, Ardmore, Pontotaw County to the southeast.
This is right now through tomorrow morning. Three to five inches of rain are possible in this area right here up until about noon tomorrow.
For the rest of us, up to two inches, with most locations picking up an inch or less.
Severe weather threat will be out there through tomorrow morning, mainly Oklahoma City, I-40 heading southward.
Damaging wind, hail, your main threats. There is a very low tornado risk tonight.
But again, hail and high winds is what we're most concerned about.
Slight risk of severe weather shows up tomorrow and tomorrow afternoon.
The very low risk of severe weather will be out there for the rest of the week.
That's for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, too.
And here's why. A big powerful storm system right now in Southern California will dip into Texas tomorrow.
And it stays to our south and it will be traveling just south of Oklahoma in Texas Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before it pulls out of here as we go into the weekend.
That's why waves of rain showers and thunderstorms will continue in your forecast each and every day this week.
Temperatures right now are mostly in the 60s, looking live over downtown Oklahoma City.
This is the Weather Bug Network, thanks to Air Comfort Solutions.
We're going down to 57 tonight in Oklahoma City. Widespread showers and thunderstorms, a few could be strong or heavy or severe.
Tonight's overnight lows in the 50s will be the coolest, chilliest to the west and to the northwest, right about 50, 57 Oklahoma City, and middle to upper 50s as we head south.
57, that's how we kick off for Tuesday. Rain showers and thunderstorms are likely. Get yourself an early start.
Some heavy thunderstorms, maybe some localized flooding could really slow you down.
They were mainly going to be in the 60s for the rest of the day.
Storm chances will decrease right around lunchtime, but that risk of severe weather stays in the forecast all the way into the afternoon.
So in the afternoon, your highest chance of rain out to the east, but still very low to moderate possibility for the rest of us.
Severe weather threat and the flooding threat will continue.
Highs mainly in the 60s tomorrow where we have the lowest chance of rain.
That's where it's going to be the warmest to the southwest in the 70s. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday with a 40, 60 percent chance of rain clearing out on Saturday.
Then another small chance of rain and thunder popping in on Sunday too.

Hello, everybody. College basketball's regular season is over and conference tournaments are underway.
That also means award time for players and coaches. Sunday, Buddy Hill became just the second player in conference history to win the Big 12 Player of the Year twice.
Today, he has three more honors being named the 40 News National Player of the Year.
He joins Stacey King and Blake Griffin as the other OU players to win the award.
He was also named a first team All-American by USA Today and the Associated Press, named to their Big 12 Player of the Year.
As good as Buddy's been, the opposition has made it tougher for him to have success as the season has progressed.
It's an ongoing process for sure. You know, defenses, they watch tape, you know, of our games and things we're doing to get him open.
And sure, there's a little adjustment along the way.
And still, it comes down to on his shoulders to work hard and get the separation and then, of course, knock down shots when he gets them, which he's done at a great rate.
I'm more confident and I know I'll be able to make some shots, but, you know, just basically getting everybody together as a group on one accord as a team and making play with each other and just playing together because I can't do it by myself.
I need my team to help me with it and it's a team effort. So we got to go out there and play together as a group and that's how fun.
Mac Tournament final head Iona facing Monmouth.
Why show this game? Well, remember Jelon Hornby to arrive at OU in the same recruiting class as Buddy Hill and Isaiah Cousins.
Well, he's not Monmouth. He had his best game of the season tonight. He hit all seven shots he put up, which includes five three-quarters.
Hornby, who left OU after the 2013-14 season, scored 20 points leading Monmouth, but Iona had too much, as did Deshawn Mutch, who had did damage to the three-point line.
He got in the pain as well. Iona won it, but at 27-7, Monmouth still may get an at-large third in the NCAA tournament.

The
Spring football practice underway at Oklahoma State.
Getting a jump on improvement for next season.
Always a goal in spring.
But the Cowboys have not forgotten how last season ended.
See, the Cowboys' first workout was this afternoon with Mike Gundy saying
he's looking for 12 strong workouts where they work on base offense and defense.
Of course, last season the Cowboys' weaknesses were pretty apparent.
And they plan to spend a great deal of time trying to improve in those areas.
They're going to work really hard in improving the running game as we've
talked about for the last couple years.
And we've got a number of offensive linemen back that we feel good about.
We'll be more mature.
And in the throwing game we've got guys that are experienced at that position.
Everyone's so very fresh in their mind, you know, dropping the last three.
And use that as a motivation, like you said, to push forward.
And I think this team's got enough motivation.
We don't have to draw from a whole lot of other things.
We've got our minds set on something and we're going to continue to work.
In the pros, there was a lot of talk and speculation involving Philadelphia Eagles
running back to Marco Murray.
Murray perhaps moving on since he didn't fit into Chip Kelly's offense last season in Philly.
There was talk perhaps going back to Dallas.
Well, the Eagles got a new coach in Doug Peterson, but Murray's still moving on.
ESPN first reported that Murray's being traded from Philadelphia to the Tennessee Titans.
Murray's agent confirmed the deal on Twitter.
It's expected to be draft compensation is what the Eagles will get with the deal.
It's expected to be completed Wednesday when the league's new year begins,
Murray had been given permission to seek a trade partner and Tennessee was on that list.
