TULSA — Newly elected Tulsa City Councilor Maria Barnes learned just hours after her election what it's like to be a crime victim.
Barnes was at her election watch party Tuesday night when a man grabbed her wallet from her purse and ran. Barnes and several supporters chased the suspect several blocks before catching 26-year-old Jordan Lee Christ and holding him for police.
Christ was arrested for petty larceny and public intoxication and later released on $600 bond. He could not be reached for comment.
