Oklahoma County first received federal COVID-19 relief funds on April 27. However, the battle for exactly how that money is spent continued Thursday as the clock to get it all out the door is running out of time.
The Oklahoma County Budget Board is made up of all three county commissioners, county treasurer, court clerk, county clerk, assessor, and sheriff. Thursday the panel heard dueling agenda items to spend the county’s remaining $9 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds.
A proposal by County Treasurer Butch Freeman would pump funds into an in-demand small business assistance program and fund a new county health software. The proposal by Commissioner Kevin Calvey would maneuver the money back to the Oklahoma County Detention Center.

EDMOND, Okla. -
Edmond police received a call early Tuesday morning from someone at the Coffee Creek Apartments who said she saw four people who were breaking into cars.
Edmond officials said there was an officer in the area who was able to initiate a pursuit with the suspects when they didn’t pull over.
The officer initiated a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) on the car, but the car was able to recover. So, the officer tried to initiate another, but that is when police said a suspect rolled down the window and shot seven times at the officers.
