Tulsa Local Pulse: Warrant Clearing Event, Tragic Accident, Tulsa Basketball Comeback, and More

Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Friday, March 28, 2025. We're kicking off the day with some important news from the Tulsa County Court. Today, they're hosting a Warrant Clearing event at the New Tulsa County Election Board. This event is specifically for non-violent misdemeanor cases, excluding DUI and domestic violence. If you or someone you know has an outstanding warrant, this could be your chance to clear it up. In other news, we're still reeling from a tragic incident earlier this week. Two men lost their lives in a head-on collision near North Peoria Avenue and East 46th Street North on Sunday. The accident occurred when one car, traveling southbound, attempted to pass another vehicle and collided with oncoming traffic. Our thoughts are with the families affected by this tragedy. On a brighter note, let's talk about our local sports scene. The Tulsa women's basketball team made history last month with an incredible comeback against UAB. They erased a 20-point deficit in the third quarter to win 72-68 in overtime. This breaks the school's previous record and ties for 28th on the all-time NCAA largest comeback wins list. Way to go, Golden Hurricane! In business news, we're seeing some changes in our local job market. While specific numbers aren't available, we've heard reports of increased hiring in the tech sector. If you're in the job market, it might be worth brushing up on those computer skills. Looking at today's weather, we're in for a beautiful spring day. Expect sunny skies with a high of 72 degrees. It's perfect weather for the community cleanup happening in the Oakhurst neighborhood this weekend. If you're interested in volunteering, check the Tulsa County website for more details. In cultural news, music lovers are in for a treat. Bob Dylan kicked off his Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour right here in Tulsa at the Tulsa Theatre on Tuesday. The legendary singer-songwriter debuted a new drummer, Anton Fig, known for his work with David Letterman's house band. On the real estate front, we're seeing a slight uptick in home prices around the Brookside area. The average home price there is now hovering around 300,000 dollars. If you're in the market, now might be the time to make a move. In education news, several Tulsa Public Schools student-athletes have been making waves in state competitions. Notably, Harmoni Callins finished 3rd in the 5A Girls State Championship, while Mia Waite became the first Edison girls wrestler to qualify for state. Lastly, we want to highlight a heartwarming community story. The ORU soccer team has been helping Mannford wildfire victims with cleanup efforts. It's great to see our community coming together in times of need. This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
