170 West Nile Cases In Oklahoma With 11 Deaths Reported

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The Oklahoma State Department of Health says there have now been 170 confirmed cases of West Nile virus in Oklahoma this year and 11 deaths due to the disease.   The numbers were reported Tuesday by the department in its bi-weekly report. Oklahoma's previous yearly record of 107 West Nile cases and seven deaths set in 2007 was broken in early September.   Officials say the virus will remain a threat until the mosquitoes that carry the disease are neutralized by sub-freezing temperatures.   Oklahoma County has the most cases with 54 and has had two deaths. Tulsa County is second in total cases with 32 and has had the most deaths with 3. Two deaths were also reported in Carter County and one death in Seminole, Muskogee, Cleveland and Logan counties.170 West Nile Cases In Oklahoma With 11 Deaths Reported

Okla. grand jury returns new charges on ex-judge
May 23, 2013 23:32 GMT

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury has returned new indictments against a former Lincoln County judge who already faces embezzlement and cattle theft charges.

The grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday against 47-year-old Craig S. Key of Chandler.

Key turned himself in last month to Lincoln County authorities who set bond at $10,000.

One indictment accuses Key of harboring a fugitive by allegedly encouraging a client facing criminal charges in Lincoln and Jefferson counties to flee the state to avoid prosecution.

Another charges Key with five counts of delivery of a forged note and accuses him of forging the name of a woman whose signature was required on escrow account checks that Key was also required to sign.

Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, says the additional indictments are no surprise.
