Three men charged in Norman animal cruelty case
By Perris Jones
NORMAN, Oklahoma (KOCO) Three men have been charged in an animal cruelty case out of Norman.
Hundreds of exotic animals, including kangaroos, camels and ostriches, were found severely malnourished – some to the point of eating the bark off trees.
In late April, authorities removed more than 350 animals from the East Norman property while executing a search warrant.
Police said most of the animals were deprived of food and water and lived in deplorable conditions.
“We’re talking about animals as small as cockatoos, various bird species and reptiles, all the way up to camels,” Norman Police spokeswoman Sarah Jensen said. “Investigators began to notice reoccurring trends with all of these animals that they were extremely malnourished a lot of them were dehydrated they didn’t have access to water that wasn’t covered in mold.”

NORMAN, Oklahoma -
Norman police arrested six men in connection with an illegal gambling operation, three of whom have been charged with felonies this week.
On Thursday, July 15, officers responded to the XingXing Karaoke Bar, formerly called Absolute Karaoke Bar on West Main Street after someone said they lost their phone inside. The caller said employees of the business refused to return his phone after he plugged it in to charge.
The caller led officers to 2244 W. Main St., a business that’s two doors down from the bar which formerly housed Mystique Hair Salon. They immediately saw several men sitting around gambling tables behind an interior wall that separated the storefront from the rest of the space.
