Woman’s personalized plate keeps getting car flagged as stolen
SUMMARY: An Oklahoma woman, Trisha Grandson, received a personalized license plate reading “I LOVE JESUS,” but it has repeatedly been flagged by police as stolen. The plate matches one linked to a stolen truck in Dallas from nearly a year ago. Despite verification from Service Oklahoma that her plate was valid, automated law enforcement cameras continue to flag it, leading to multiple police stops. Dallas police confirmed the plate is connected to an ongoing investigation and have asked Oklahoma authorities to remove the flag, but it remains due to the active case. Service Oklahoma recommends replacing the plate to avoid further issues.

Noble mother says collapsed kitchen ceiling still not repaired, landlord unresponsive
SUMMARY: A Noble family’s kitchen ceiling collapsed last week, leaving their home damaged and unsafe. The landlord, Second Avenue, has been unresponsive despite multiple work orders and contractor warnings over three years about the sagging ceiling, which finally gave way. Megan Rounds, a mother of five with asthma, is worried about health risks from insulation debris and possible asbestos. The family cannot use the kitchen and has had to send kids elsewhere for safety. Although Second Avenue promised repairs, work was repeatedly canceled without explanation, leaving the family feeling forgotten and desperate for solutions.
A Noble mother says her family has been left in unsafe and unlivable conditions after their kitchen ceiling collapsed, and their landlord still hasn’t repaired the damage.
