Blaine County -- The medical examiner’s office has made a positive identification on remains found near Canton June 13, 2016. The remains are those of Christopher Blake Scruggs (d.o.b. 10/8/1992), a suspect in a homicide near Canton last year. OSBI special agents and other law enforcement in Blaine County have been searching for Scruggs since the homicide. A farmer spraying his field found a human skull and called the sheriff’s office. OSBI special agents went to the scene and with the help of deputies and other searching the area more remains were discovered. Several months ago, a murder warrant was issued for Scruggs in the homicide of Caylee Massey. October 27, 2015, 18-year-old Massey was riding in a truck headed to Canton from Oklahoma City when she was shot in the head. The driver of the truck pulled to the side of the road and Scruggs, a passenger in the truck, fled the scene. The medical examiner says it could take several months to determine a cause/manner of death for Scruggs. OSBI special agents continue to investigate Massey’s murder.

TREE DOWN

If your power went off or flickered last night it may have been due to a large tree that fell at Champlin Park. The tree knocked down a power line and landed in the east bound lane of W. Garriott. Power was out in the area and traffic was blocked for a short period of time. Photo courtesy Cleota Ostermaier.
