Police chase ends after going through man's yard

CHOCTAW, Okla. -- Two men in a stolen vehicle lead the Oklahoma Highway Patrol on a chase Monday morning. Troopers say the chase started up on the turnpike, near the Wellston exit. The suspects made their way down rural roads, winding their way to Northeast 23rd St. near Triple X Road.

That's where it finally came to an end.

Steve Williams was inside his carpet and tile store when the chase went right through his yard.

He says, "That dude hit that corner doing about 90 miles an hour. I thought he was going to roll the whole car."

Chris West, with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, says, "The vehicle was running at a high rate of speed, made some unsafe lane changes which put other people in jeopardy."

Troopers say two men, 19-year-old Lewis Dickinson III and 33-year-old Ryan McDonald, were taken into custody.

The car they were in was believed to have been stolen in Lincoln County.

Woman finds rock thrown through car window

STROUD, Okla. -- When Stroud resident Megan Byrd went out to her car Monday morning, she found glass from her car window all over the ground. "I was freaking out because this is my fiance's car," she says.

Her fiance is serving in the Army National Guard right now in the Middle East.

The damage will cost him more than $200 to repair.

But what she found inside her car is what really frightens her.

The crook threw a massive rock, more than a foot long, through her passenger window in the middle of the night.

If Megan had been inside the vehicle, she could have been seriously hurt.

"It makes me feel very unsafe," she says. "You never know if they're going to come breaking in through your front door or harm you when you're trying to walk outside at night to get in your vehicle."

The vandals didn't take her digital camera sitting inside.

Powerball ticket price doubles

Powerball ticket price doubles

OKLAHOMA CITY -- If you bought a Powerball ticket on Sunday, you noticed a major change that just went into effect. The ticket price doubled from $1 to $2.  At Paul's Conoco on Hefner Rd. and May Ave., they've been preparing their customers for several days for the change.  

"We wanted to make sure everybody understood and was prepared to know all the changes so that they wouldn't be surprised," clerk Laura Ennis said.  

Ennis says overall the reaction from her regulars has not been good.  

"Not favorable. They say I might be buying a lot less tickets or maybe buy a different game," she said.

The other lottery games are still just $1.  

The Powerball ticket now costs $2 instead of $2, but the multiplier is still $1.  

Lottery officials say the chances of winning are going up as well.  

The Powerball numbers are being reduced from 39 to 35.
