Apr. 8—ENID, Okla. — A 22-year-old Enid man was arrested early Wednesday morning after authorities said he attempred to rob someone at OnCue.

Kade Christopher Browning was arrested on complaints of attempted armed robbery, shooting from a moving vehicle, possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a report from Enid Police Department.

At 1:25 a.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a possible robbery in progress on 9th and Oklahoma. A 33-year-old Enid man told police he was parked at the OnCue at 1623 S. Van Buren when Browning pulled up next to him in a dark-colored GMC Envoy and motioned for him to come over, according to police.

When the man approached, Browning pulled out a gun and asked for money. The man put his hands up and backed up toward his vehicle, the report said, and Browning then sped off. Two other passengers were in the vehicle.

The man followed Browning from OnCue to 9th and Oklahoma, where Browning then fired a gun three times from the vehicle, police said.

The GMC Envoy then went to a residence in the 900 block of East Oklahoma. After locating the vehicle, EPD officers and Garfield County Sheriff's Department deputies arrived at the residence and surrounded the house, telling the residents they needed to come out with their hands up, according to the report.

An elderly man, later identified as the homeowner, came out and said Browning may be inside with a few others. Browning eventually came out along with the two passengers, and the homeowner gave officers permission to clear the residence while two officers prepared search warrants for the vehicle and for the residence.

Browning told officers he had gone to OnCue to pick up his girlfriend and said that the man, whom Browning said he didn't know, at the gas station had come up to his vehicle "out of nowhere" to try and start a fight and that he was hitting Browning's vehicle with a wrench or tire iron, police said.

Browning said he showed the man his gun to try and scare him off. After leaving OnCue, Browning said the man followed him and that he drove through parking lots to try and lose the man, the report said. Browning said he fired the shots to get the man to stop following him.

Search warrants were executed for the residence and the Envoy, according to police. Inside the home, police recovered the pistol, two magazines and ammunition, suspected marijuana, suspected methamphetamine, numerous empty containers and drug paraphernalia.

The man and the two passengers were released and allowed to leave.

Browning was placed under arrest and booked into Garfield County Detention Facility without incident.

  • Georgia's GOP lieutenant governor says Rudy Giuliani's false voter fraud claims triggered voting restrictions

    Rudy Giuliani's false claims of election fraud weren't enough to overturn the presidential election, but they did motivate Republican lawmakers in Georgia to pass a law that restricts voting rights, the state's Republican lieutenant governor said. Under the new election law, signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) last month, it's harder for voters to request and drop off absentee ballots; ballot drop boxes are limited; voters can't be approached and handed food or water while they wait in line to cast their ballots; and the secretary of state is no longer chairman or a voting member of the Georgia State Election Board. During an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) said the restrictions are "the fallout from the 10 weeks of misinformation that flew in from former President Donald Trump. I went back over the weekend to really look at where this really started to gain momentum in the legislature, and it was when Rudy Giuliani showed up in a couple of committee rooms and spent hours spreading misinformation and sowing doubt across, you know, hours of testimony." Joe Biden won Georgia, a fact that was affirmed during three different ballot counts in the state. Giuliani still tried to get Georgia to overturn the election results, appearing before state lawmakers to spread multiple falsehoods, including that thousands of dead people voted. He also claimed, without any evidence, that the voting machines were "like Swiss cheese. You can invade them. You can get in them. You can change the vote." He is now the subject of a $1.3 billion defamation suit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.

Australia’s vaccine rollout was boosted by a shipment from Britain that was kept quiet to avoid controversy, according to reports in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, said last month that vaccine shortages in Britain mean there will be no more first appointments for jabs booked in April amid growing chaos with supplies. But the newspapers claim that 717,000 doses were sent to Australia after being manufactured in the UK rather than Europe, as was widely believed. Australia has entered the vaccine row with the European Union in recent weeks after the bloc placed tough export controls on jabs. Follow the latest updates below.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell ordered to clean her 'very dirty and smelly' prison cell

    Prosecutors have accused Ghislaine Maxwell of allowing her prison cell to become "dirty and smelly" by not cleaning it and regularly failing to flush her toilet. In a lengthy letter to a judge they rejected allegations from Ms Maxwell's lawyers that her conditions were "fitting for Hannibal Lecter". They also disputed suggestions the former socialite had lost 15 pounds, and some of her hair. A claim that she had been physically abused during a pat-down search had been investigated and was "unfounded", they added. Audrey Strauss, a New York prosecutor, wrote: "Staff directed the defendant to clean her cell because it had become very dirty. "Among other things, staff noted that the defendant frequently did not flush her toilet after using it, which caused the cell to smell. In addition, the defendant had not cleaned her cell in some time." Ms Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking charges and denies grooming girls for sex with Jeffrey Epstein.
