Chamberlin faces charges of larceny of an automobile and second-degree burglary. (News On 6)
2. The Owasso Library staff has announced plans for a $7 million expansion. The project is expected to be completed in the next two to three years and will serve as an upgrade to one of the Tulsa City-County Library system's busiest branches. The upgrade will double the size of the existing building, which was last updated in 2001. (KOKI FOX 23)
