Here are the top three stories in Tulsa today:

1. A local bakery supplied Sylvester Stallone with a unique treat. The actor, who is currently in Tulsa filming the TV series "Tulsa King," posted a video to his Instagram account on Thursday showing off an iced doughnut imprinted with his portrait, calling it his "proudest accomplishment." Big Baby Rolls and Donuts, located at 3739 E. 11th St., supplied these creative donuts to Stallone and the "Tulsa King" production. (Tulsa World)
2. The City Of Tulsa kicked off its month-long "Great Tulsa Cleanup" event on Friday. Throughout April, participants will clean up creeks, streams, parks, and illegal dumpsites around the city. Registration is open now online — all volunteers must complete a liability waiver and those under 18 must have an adult with them. (news9.com KWTV)
3. Tulsa's Crisis Response Team is struggling to keep up with mental health calls. Currently, the Crisis Response Team only provides mental health help Monday through Friday during normal business hours, however, the need is much greater with roughly 1,000 calls per month. According to CRT, 988 is a national mental health crisis line set to be implemented in July of this year, developed so people don't have to call 911. (News On 6)
