A man who sued the City of Norman in 2016 following a car collision with a Norman Police officer will collect damages after the Court of Civil Appeals upheld a district court ruling Monday.
Curtis Rodgersâ damages totaled $1 million in 2019 after Cleveland County District Court Judge Jeff Virgin deliberated the evidence, court records show.
However, the judge found both Rodgers and NPD Officer Ricky Hanna were equally responsible for the accident, and reduced the amount to $125,000 in light of the Government Tort Claims Act. The act allows a limit of $125,000 for a city the size of Norman.
Court records state that on Oct. 31, 2015, Hanna approached the intersection of 12th Avenue S.E. and Lindsey Street, and Rodgers made a left turn in front of Hanna. Hannaâs vehicle struck the front of Rodgersâ vehicle, according to court records.

NORMAN, Okla. -
Criminal charges have been handed down to a man accused of shooting a dog at a Norman dog park.
Jose Venegas-Carrillo, 29, was charged with one count of animal cruelty and another count of reckless conduct with a firearm in Cleveland County District Court Wednesday.
Around 1 p.m. on April 3, witnesses told Norman police Venegas-Carrillo arrived at the Norman Community Dog Park with a small dog that began acting aggressive.

Dylan Grant Brown, 26, was charged Monday in Cleveland County District Court.
It was March 17, 2021 when Norman police received a call from a woman who made an interesting discovery.
“A young lady called us advising that she had found what she believed to be a recording device inside her apartment,” said Lt. Justin Wishon of the Norman Police Department.
It was a recording device, a camera, disguised as an alarm clock Brown is accused of placing in the victim’s bedroom.
“It was an actual functioning digital alarm clock that held an internal SIM card that had a collection of videos on it once we got ahold of the video and the alarm clock itself,” said Wishon.
