Police said 10 different vehicles were reported damaged and the incidents took place in various parts of town. Reports came from North M, North Hoff, South Ellison, West Wade, South Evans, Stone Glen Drive and Skyview.

While Redlands Community College has traditionally offered two-year associate’s degrees, creative partnerships are bringing bachelor’s degree programs to the campus, creating more opportunity for those seeking higher education without leaving home.

This past spring, Redlands signed an agreement with Cameron University, Lawton. Redlands provides Cameron with classroom space and in return, Cameron will offer courses in criminal justice which would allow a student to earn a four-year bachelor’s degree in that area of study.
