A driver is in custody Tuesday after a series of hit-and-run incidents in Tulsa.
Tulsa police officers responded to a call around 9:30 a.m. about a hit-and-run near 6th Street and Frankfort. A driver had rammed through three gates then drove away.
Five minutes later, officers responded to another call from 5th Place about a driver of a similar SUV running into fence posts, trying to run over construction workers and stealing a chainsaw.
