A newly elected city councilor had a personal lesson in policework last night when a thief ran away with her wallet during a victory party in downtown Tulsa.Maria Barnes was celebrating her District 4 win over incumbent Eric Gomez at Casa Laredo, 403 S. Cheyenne Ave., when a man reached into her purse and made off with her billfold about 10:20 p.m., police said.
Barnes and a group of supporters chased after him to the 600 block of South Boulder, where officers took him into custody.
About five minutes later, officers arrested Jordan Lee Christ, 26. He was booked
into the Tulsa Jail on complaints of petty larceny and public intoxication, according to his arrest report.Police allege that Christ was extremely drunk and ran from the eatery after swiping the wallet.
Court records indicate that Christ has several previous convictions, including assault and battery, outraging public decency, peeping tom and larceny.
