SUMMARY: In Oklahoma, Herb lost his wife, Gale, to early-onset Alzheimer’s after 13 years of caregiving. Gale was a wife, mother, and speech pathologist diagnosed at 52. Herb retired from the oil and gas industry to care for her and now volunteers for the Alzheimer’s Association Oklahoma Chapter, leading six support groups and giving speeches nationwide to help overwhelmed caregivers—services all free. His dedication earned him a Pay It Forward award from First Fidelity Bank. Herb also found love with Terry, another volunteer and caregiver who lost her husband to Alzheimer’s. Their work supports caregivers, who often suffer deeply alongside patients.

Federal lawsuit filed after officer-involved shooting at 2023 HS football game
SUMMARY: A federal lawsuit has been filed following a 2023 officer-involved shooting at a Choctaw High School football game. Two years ago, 16-year-old Cordy Carter was killed in the chaos, with no charges filed. Demetrius Carter, unrelated to the victim, was also shot and injured by Del City police. Carter’s attorney alleges civil rights violations, claiming officers Sean Hope and his partner used excessive force without provocation, possibly influenced by racial bias. The lawsuit names the City of Del City, police officials, and the school district. Key body camera footage remains sealed, and investigations are ongoing amid pending litigation.

Neighbor's camera captures suspect starting the fire
SUMMARY: A neighbor’s security camera captured a suspect setting fire to vehicles outside a McLean County deputy’s home, which quickly spread and destroyed the house. The suspect, 28-year-old Austin Garrett Reeves, was previously arrested for burglarizing the same deputy’s home but was released by the Light Horse Police due to tribal membership. The sheriff expressed concern over Reeves targeting law enforcement, noting multiple break-ins leading to the fire. Emergency crews extinguished the blaze, but the deputy’s home was a complete loss. Authorities are investigating prior targets and why charges were declined, with Reeves now in custody at Grady.
