Cleveland County Sheriff Warns of Phone Scam
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- The Cleveland County Sheriff's Office is warning residents to be aware of a phone scam from people claiming to be relatives in need.
Sheriff Joe Lester says a woman was recently called by someone in Virginia who said he was a relative and needed bail money to get out of jail. Lester says the woman was called shortly afterward by someone else asking for money to cover the relative's legal expenses.
The sheriff says the woman was able to determine that none of the callers' claims were true.
The sheriff's office says anyone receiving such a call should hang up and should not send money. If someone needs to check if a relative is really in jail, he or she can call that detention facility to find out.

May 23, 2013 16:38 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Storms that lingered over the Oklahoma City area have brought flooding to several areas.
A number of roads in the metro area had to be closed Thursday morning due to high water. Cars and people were stranded in places and the National Weather Service recommended residents delay traveling until the waters recede.
As the noon hour approached, a flash flood warning was in effect for Canadian, Cleveland, Grady, Kingfisher, Logan, McClain and Oklahoma counties.
In Oklahoma City, officials say SW 104th between Rockwell and Meridian was washed out and a sinkhole formed on Rockwell between SW 74 and SW 89th.
Flooding also affected the Interstate 240 Service Road at South Western.
