An early Sunday morning crash in Custer County has hospitalized a pair of local teens.
According to an accident report filed by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the mishap occurred on at 1:15 Sunday morning, two miles west of Clinton, when the 2007 GMC pick-up driven by 19-year-old Christopher Newcomb of Clinton traveled off the right side of the road after being distracted by a phone. The driver over corrected and then traveled across both eastbound lanes and the center median. The pick-up would strike the cable barrier, which caused the vehicle to become airborne for approximately 20 feet before crossing over the westbound lanes, and began to roll. OHP say the pick-up rolled 3 ¼ times causing the passenger, 19-year-old Elk City resident Mikah Butler, to be ejected 40 feet from the truck.

A man wanted in Washita County on a felony charge was apprehended Wednesday in Clinton after a standoff.
According to authorities, 35-year-old Brent Johnson was wanted after being charged with abuse by a caretaker with a $30,000 bond in April, 2020. Knowing Johnson was at a home in the 1500 block of Neptune Drive in Clinton, Department of Corrections Probation and Parole Unit went to the home to perform a routine visit, unaware of the warrant. When officials became aware of Johnson’s felony warrant, he refused to come out of the home.
Shortly after the standoff began, Clinton police were dispatched to assist the DOC along with officials from the Custer County Sheriff’s Office and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
