Edmond Man Pleads No Contest to Hate-Crime Charge

An Edmond man has pleaded no contest to a hate crime.
James Brian Roper was sentenced to one year in prison after he was accused of punching a black teenager and using racial slurs.Roper was also sentenced to three years in prison for violating his probation in a 2007 case.
Prosecutors claim that Roper chased down two teenagers in June and repeatedly punched a 15-year-old. The teens told police that Roper showed them his tattoo of a swastika and said he didn't want any "gang bangers" in his neighborhood.
Roper denies targeting the teens because of their race and later told police that he only confronted them because he thought they were gang members looking for homes and cars to burglarize.

KINGFISHER, Okla. (AP) -- Authorities continue to search for a Kingfisher teenager who disappeared after jumping into Uncle John Creek.

Police say 17-year-old Taylor Faine jumped into the creek Thursday and did not resurface. Kingfisher Fire Chief Randy Poindexter told The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/10s2oB6 ) on Saturday that manmade dams have been built in hopes of finding Faine's body.

Authorities say Faine was swimming with friends in an area where no swimming signs are in place because of dangerous currents in the creek.
