Former Depew mayor’s bail
revoked, trial rescheduled
SAPULPA (AP) - The former mayor of Depew was
scheduled to go on trial but went to jail instead.
Tulsa County District Judge Linda G. Morrissey gave
no explanation for revoking Todd McFarland's $100,000
bail on Monday. Prosecutors and defense attorneys also
declined comment.
McFarland, 38, had been free on bond pending a non-
jury trial for the Nov. 1, 2001, rape by instrumentation and
sexual battery' involving a 16-year-old girl.
After three hours in closed session in Morrissey's cham-
bers, McFarland was taken out in handcuffs by Creek
County deputies.
Morrissey was assigned the case after two Creek County
trial judges disqualified themselves.

Sooners will face the toughest challenge they have met
in the six years Bob Stoops has been the head coach.
However, the only people that will have a tougher
task than the Sooners are the Oklahoma fans in trying to
get to see the game.
The 2005 FedEx Orange Bowl has proven to be one
of the hardest tickets to obtain this year. All 000 plus
tickets for Pro Player Stadium were sold before
Monday of last week. Many are in the hands of ticket-
brokers.
The face value for an Orange Bowl ticket, acc ording
to Ticketmaster, ranged from $150-$250 Bu the m-
ber of people who were able to buy them at flice value
more than likely could not fill up a small gy mnasium.
On the Web site www.gotickets.com, of the 26 tick-
ets it had remaining late last week, all were priced at
$600 a piece.
However, the Alamo Bowl does not face the same
dilemma. Oklahoma State and Ohio State play Dec. 29
in San Antonio, and so far tickets to the game are read-
ily available. The Website showmetickets.com had
Alamo Bowl tickets ranging from $55-$575.
