TULSA, Okla. — Mayor Monroe Nichols wrote a letter to the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners calling for the immediate termination of Joseph Kralicek after his arrest.
The board held a meeting on Aug. 11. In executive session, it voted to allow Chairman Lonnie Sims to meet with Mayor Nichols to discuss next steps.
