SHAWNEE, Okla. — An Oklahoma City pilot makes a crash landing in a field near Shawnee after experiencing a double dip of plane trouble.

David Bott, a CPA who has been flying for nearly 30 years, was heading to Shawnee’s Municipal Airport for regular maintenance Monday afternoon.

As he was getting ready to land, the landing gear wouldn’t come down.

“Since I had experienced it before, that didn’t cause me a great deal of concern,” Bott said.

But when he circled around to try to manually release the landing gear, his trouble doubled into a first-time experience.

“Somehow during that procedure, the engine started to fail and so I had to go ahead and do emergency landing procedures,” Bott said.

With his engine stalling, his plane slowed down and gravity took over.

LEXINGTON, Okla. — An Oklahoma boy battling cancer recently got a big surprise.

A small town police department decided to let him join the force.

It’s a dream come true for the 10-year-old boy.

He not only joined in name but got the gear and a few assignments to go with it.

Xander Moore loves sports especially baseball and the OKC Thunder.

He may seem like an average 10 year old, but he’s actually an honorary member of the Lexington Police Department.

Complete with a real uniform, a badge and handcuffs.

His mom, Ricki Lea, said, “It’s the only thing he hangs up, everything else goes to the floor.”

Chief Deana Allen, with the Lexington Police Department, said, “He really, he represented what an officer is supposed to represent, fearlessness and strength.”

Strength through a battle with cancer.
