From medical marijuana oversight to traffic stop investigations and school safety threats, here is your “6 Things to Know” for Wednesday, September 2, 2026:
Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler is urging state lawmakers to grant the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority greater power to inspect and immediately close non-compliant facilities. The request follows the arrest of Ryan Bassham, who is accused of running an illegal grow operation in Kellyville shortly after bonding out on charges linked to a deadly Sand Springs business explosion that killed two workers.
The Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority stated that its recent inspection of the Sand Springs facility showed it was non-operational with no evidence of illicit activity at that time.
The Coweta Police Department is investigating a traffic stop during which an officer took a 69-year-old driver to the ground. Officer Matt Rice initiated the stop on Highway 51 against James Rogers for a traffic violation before the physical encounter occurred.
According to the Coweta Police Chief, Rogers was non-compliant with commands and resisted officers during the interaction. Police reported that no charges have been filed against Rogers, while family members stated they have retained legal counsel and are requesting the officer’s termination.
Pawnee police identified a suspect connected to a social media threat that specifically named Pawnee Middle School and approximately 35 students. Authorities initiated the investigation late Monday night after discovering a post linked to a TikTok trend referencing “The Cat in the Hat.”
According to the department, investigators requested user data from TikTok and traced the associated phone number and IP address through a cellular carrier. Pawnee Public Schools issued a statement regarding the situation, while police emphasized that all threats against educational facilities will be investigated regardless of whether they are intended as pranks.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is asking for public assistance to identify a person of interest following a reported sexual assault in Grove. The Grove Police Department requested state assistance to investigate the incident, which occurred at the Grove Sports Complex near the basketball courts.
According to state investigators, the incident occurred between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. on Aug. 26 involving an adult female victim who received medical treatment. The OSBI developed a composite sketch based on evidence collected during the initial inquiry and requested that anyone with information contact state agents.
A Utah state judge determined that sufficient evidence exists to send 23-year-old Tyler Robinson to trial for the deadly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Robinson faces seven felony counts, including aggravated murder, in connection with the incident at Utah Valley University.
According to the Utah County Attorney’s Office, evidence presented at the hearing includes surveillance video showing the suspect on a campus roof, matching DNA from the weapon, and self-incriminating text messages. Defense attorneys argued against the binding decision and entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Robinson.
United States military forces conducted strikes on Iranian air defense and mine-laying capabilities near the Strait of Hormuz for the second time in a week. According to military officials, Iranian forces retaliated by launching missiles toward American bases in the region, with no immediate injuries reported.
According to defense officials, the military action coincides with the departure of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. Congressional officials noted that Driscoll’s resignation follows policy disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding leadership changes and force modernization initiatives.
