Five arrested after report of home-invasion robbery

Police arrested three adults and two juveniles in connection with a reported home-invasion robbery late Monday.

Heather Dosser, 20; Louis Perrier, 25; and Tuesday Kalumia, 25, were arrested on complaints that include armed robbery and concealing stolen property, jail records show. Two juveniles were also arrested.

Police were told that three people — at least one of whom had a gun — had entered a house in the 6900 block of East Fifth Place about 11 p.m. Monday.

A resident was struck in his head with a tire tool, and his flat-screen TV and other property were stolen, police said.

A witness had seen a blue Ford Explorer in the area and provided its tag number to officers, according to police.

An officer saw a blue Explorer with that tag number leaving a gas station at Apache Street and Cincinnati Avenue about 11:50 p.m., police said.

The officer followed the vehicle, which was occupied by five people, to a house in the 3100 block of North Hartford Avenue, police said.

The vehicle's side-panel cover where its jack and tire tool are stored was off, and the tire tool was missing, a police report shows.

As police investigated, two teens brought a large flat-screen TV from a back bedroom.

During a search of the residence, most of the victim's stolen property and the handgun used in the robbery were recovered, police said.

First-degree murder charge filed in stabbing

BARTLESVILLE — A first-degree murder charge was filed Tuesday against a 49-year-old Bartlesville man who is being held without bail in the weekend stabbing death of a neighbor.

Paul Lloyd Waller Jr. was arraigned on the charge in an afternoon hearing before Special Judge Kyra Williams, who recommended he apply for a court-appointed attorney to represent him. Williams on Monday denied bail in the case at the urging of District Attorney Rick Esser.

Waller was arrested Sunday by Bartlesville police in the fatal stabbing of Steven Ray Rippy. The stabbing occurred Saturday evening at 1541 SW Maple Ave., a home in which Rippy was living with relatives. According to a court affidavit, Waller stabbed Rippy in the left shoulder with a Bowie knife, apologized to witnesses and left the home.

Rippy left the house and got into a pickup truck where he died a short time later, the affidavit stated. Waller returns to court Nov. 13.

Seminole County crash kills Wewoka man

A Wewoka man died Tuesday morning when his vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a tractor-trailer.

Marvin Galloway, 60, was driving north along U.S. 377 east of Konawa in Seminole County when his 1982 Datsun crashed into the rig about 10 a.m., according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Galloway was thrown from the car and died at the scene. His wife, Linda Galloway, 56, was taken by helicopter to the University of Oklahoma Medical Center in Oklahoma City, where she was in critical condition with head and internal injuries, troopers said.

The truck driver, Hipolito Perez, 28, of Sapulpa, was not injured, the OHP reported.

Teens accused of trying to kill foster parents

WOODWARD — Two teenage girls have been charged in Woodward County with trying to kill their foster parents, who had recently moved to western Oklahoma from Henryetta.

Prosecutors say 16-year-old Ashley Jewell and 15-year-old Kelsey Beames are both charged with felony counts of shooting with intent to kill and conspiracy to commit murder.

Both are charged as youthful offenders and are being held in separate juvenile detention centers.

Officials in the District Attorney's Office did not know whether the girls had attorneys.

Police allege that Jewell shot and wounded Robert Parker as he slept early last Friday, while Beames was to shoot Barbra Parker — but the gun had the wrong ammunition and didn't fire.

Investigators said the family had recently moved to Woodward from Henryetta and that the girls wanted to return there.
