Oklahoma Highway Patrol searching for man accused of shooting officer
OHP said Billy Wayne Williams is suspected of shooting a police officer in Muskogee County.
Williams is 5'11' and 380 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.
OHP believes he initially was driving a white suburban, however, that vehicle has been located. The department says he may be driving in a white Nissan Altima.
A Blue Alert was issued by OHP on behalf of the Webbers Falls Police Department. Blue Alerts are issued to aid in the apprehension of a person who is suspected of killing or seriously injuring an officer in the line of duty.
Oklahoma is one of 37 states that has a Blue Alert Plan, but Arkansas is not one of them.
KNWA's NBC affiliate in Tulsa reported that the shooting occurred at the intersection of North Stand Watie Boulevard and West Lynch Street in Webbers Falls.
OHP said if you see Williams, do not approach him and call 911 immediately.
Webbers Falls is around 50 miles from Fort Smith.

Newly homeless man reunited with dog snatched from him on NYC subway: ‘He's all I have'
He got his Roc back. A newly homeless New Yorker was filmed having an emotional reunion with his best friend, his pet dog Roc, four days after he was stolen from beside him as he napped on a subway. 'I'm right here — come here, baby,' Charles Williams, 45, told his American Bully puppy as PIX11 News caught their reunion Thursday outside the 44th Precinct stationhouse in the Bronx. 'Who's my Roc?' 6 An emotional NY homeless man has been reunited with his stolen dog after a heartless straphanger snatched the pup from him while he was sleeping on a subway train in The Bronx. PIX11 News / YouTube Williams' 'very loving dog' was stolen from him as he slept on a northbound D train heading into the Norwood-205th St. station on Sunday morning, he said. The dog lover said he has been homeless for around a month, and was only sleeping on the train because of his devotion to his dog, who is not allowed to stay with him in shelters. He feared the worst — until the surprise news that his stolen dog had been dropped off outside the stationhouse just a few blocks from Yankee Stadium. 'I want to cry,' Williams told PIX11 after his reunion. 'I know God is real, because I'm in a big city, and in a big city like New York, you know, you may not find your dog,' he said, assuming he wouldn't get him back. 6 Williams' 'very loving dog' was stolen from him as he slept on a northbound D train heading into the Norwood-205th St. station on Sunday morning, he said.

'But don't worry, it'll never happen again,' he said, looking at Roc. Williams told the Daily News he was dozing on the subway to avoid the heat, and 'woke up at 205th Street with just the leash in my hand.' 6 Williams's stolen dog had been dropped off outside the stationhouse just a few blocks from Yankee Stadium, according to reports.

[The thief] was looking at him, you know, making little eyes at him. I paid no attention,' he said. The thief remained on the loose early Friday — and it's not clear if he was the person who dropped Roc outside the stationhouse. 6 The NYPD has shared an image of the suspect, a man in his 20s with medium-length braids, all-black clothing and a black Yankees cap.

The Latest MAGA Conspiracy Theory Just Hilariously Unraveled
A fake story from a Brazilian fugitive accusing former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr of colluding with Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis and Armstrong Williams to indict President Trump swept through MAGA world this summer. How did a lie from a Brazilian woman being actively pursued by the FBI dominate the right's media landscape and turn them against a longtime Trump ally? The Bulwark reports that it originated from Patrícia Lélis, a woman who was indicted last year in a wire fraud case after stealing around $700,000 and using it for her house's down payment and credit card bill, among other things. She fled the country before serving any time and was last seen in Mexico. In Brazil, Lélis is infamous for a false rape accusation against Brazilian pastor and politician Marco Feliciano, which led to her being arrested, with Brazilian law enforcement ultimately releasing a report that claimed she had a mental condition that caused her to lie impulsively. In 2021, she claimed that then-President Jair Bolsonaro's son Eduardo threatened to kill her over text. Police determined she forged the messages and arrested her instead once again. She was kicked out of the Brazilian Workers' Party for being extremely transphobic, and even made posts falsely claiming she was pregnant. Lélis is essentially a professional international charlatan. How did she become the point person for the accusations of treason against Barr? It's all Armstrong Williams's fault. The Black conservative talking head hired Lélis without verifying anything about her background or history, as she claimed to be an immigration lawyer to get the job with Williams. She worked for him for two years, 2021 to 2023, stealing money from his organization in the process. Lélis concocted a story based on her time working for Armstrong, in which she alleges that, while sitting in as a notetaker during meetings, she witnessed Armstrong, Barr, and Willis coordinating Trump's prosecutions, which doesn't make much sense given that Barr was not attorney general while Lélis was working for Armstrong. None of the conservative pundits who took up Lélis's story seemed to care. And neither did Project Veritas, which featured Lélis multiple times as a brave whistleblower whose life was in danger as Barr was trying to silence her. 'One thing that I understood very well is like Bill Barr and Armstrong and all the politicians too, they're very focused like in how they go to stop Trump,' Lélis said in a Project Veritas article. Brazilians tried to warn Project Veritas. Now no one knows where Lélis is. Let this be a lesson to at least google someone before you platform their allegations of plots against the president.
