Good morning, First Capital, and happy Friday. Thursday morning, Guthrie police were sent to a report of an abandoned car with blood inside sitting in the roadway north of University and Academy, and Thursday evening officers gave a trespass warning in the 800 block of North Wentz. Edmond Inbox reports more growth is on the way for the Covell corridor as OnCue, 7 Brew and Honeyfield plans advance, and NonDoc fact-checks Oklahoma County candidates on jail funding and property taxes. The Edmond Public Schools board holds a special meeting at 2 p.m. Expect a cloudy, dry day, with an air quality alert until 3:15 p.m.
