In the sanctuary of a north Oklahoma City church Tuesday, a Black grandmother who has accused police of breaking her right arm wiped away tears as she talked about her encounter with officers in the heat of August, and being handcuffed and escorted to a patrol car.
“I know it was God that spared my life,” Ruby Jones, 74, said. “I won’t forget this. The pain, the agony.”
While the nation is on edge over deadly police interactions in Minnesota, in an excessive force lawsuit filed in Oklahoma County District Court against the city of Oklahoma City and three police officers, Jones is the latest to challenge police tactics and training.

TULSA, Okla. -
A Tulsa business is seeking damages from several international companies involved in a botched order of N95 masks for the Oklahoma State Department of Health.
Casey Bradford, a Tulsa business owner behind PPE Supplies LLC, was hired by the health department to seek out and purchase nearly two million of the medically certified masks last year during high global demand. The agency wired his company, PPE Supplies LLC, $2.1 million in March 2020.
The company operated by Bradford, Michael Velasquez, and Brett Baker worked with companies based in Washington state, Kuwait, Cambodia, and China on a $1.74 million order for one million masks, according to court documents filed by Bradford’s attorney.
