Two men have been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred over the weekend.

OKC man arrested for embezzling spare ribs

OKLAHOMA CITY — A metro man is arrested for allegedly embezzling spare ribs.

The suspect worked as a truck driver for a business on the city’s southeast side.

Unfortunately, the parking lot at Crossroads Mall isn’t a crowded place these days.

That made it easy for employees at a nearby trucking company to see one of their drivers, Terry Moore, allegedly unloading boxes of spare ribs from his semi truck.

The suspect admits what he did was wrong but claims he didn’t mean to break the law.

“What I did was, I put it in my daughter’s car so I wouldn’t have to be carrying it around. I shouldn’t have done it. It’s my fault,” Moore said.

Moore claims his semi-load had simply been overweight and that’s why he lightened the load by taking out two $80-boxes of ribs.

That is a violation of company policy.

After the scuffle, bar security forced everyone involved to leave the bar.

Once outside, the fight continued.

However, before the suspect was able to injure anyone with the knife, he was hit by a car.

The driver fled the scene.

Police chase, arrest elusive bikers

DEL CITY, Okla. — Police have arrested two suspects after a dangerous overnight chase.

The chase started on I-35 near S.W. 89th St.

Police said, at one point during the chase, one suspect turned off his headlights and was biking blind through the streets of Del City as he was trying to lose the police.

Both suspects hid from police before eventually giving up and being arrested.

Police bust nets 23 kilos of cocaine

OKLAHOMA CITY — Police arrested two California suspects for trafficking a large amount of cocaine through Oklahoma.

The bust was a few weeks ago along I-40 near Peebly Rd.

Jorge Guevara, 48, and 23-year-old Jacinto Cruz were booked into the Oklahoma County Jail after the bust.

Police said the pair was driving a semi when officers stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation.

A drug dog first sniffed the loot after officers asked to search the vehicle.

MSgt. Gary Knight said, “Officers opened up the back of the semi and basically climbed over things and made their way to the front where a false wall was found. In that false wall was 23 kilograms of cocaine.”

Authorities said the cocaine would be worth $250,000 to $800,000 on the street.

Knight said, “It was in numerous bundles. Obviously it was being transported to be sold somewhere else.”
