School district's coverup?
The teacher accused of sexting a Carney High School student was accused of similar behavior when he taught in Luther, a parent told Fox 25 News. A mother of a student in Luther said the Luther School District disciplined Wayne Haddox after speaking with her about her concerns. However, the Carney Schools Superintendent said Luther's administration did not mention any incidents and gave Haddox a positive recommendation. An attorney for Luther School District, as well as Haddox's attorney, denied the allegations.

Achille mayor charged with embezzlement
March 12, 2010 18:43 EST
DURANT, Okla. (AP) -- Bryan County prosecutors have charged the mayor of Achille with embezzlement in connection with his home remodeling business.
Choctaw tribal police arrested Lynn Chambers Wednesday at Achille City Hall. He was released on bond.
Authorities alleged that Chambers used only part of the money he received on materials to remodel the residence of Choctaw Nation employees Landon and Brandi Miller.
Chambers is accused of spending about $104 of a $2,642 check from the tribe made out to Lowe's for the materials. Court records say the rest was turned into four $507 gift cards and $507 in cash.
The affidavit says Chambers told a tribal investigator he also used the money for labor expenses, but he didn't have any receipts to show he had paid laborers.
Chambers couldn't be reached for comment Friday.
