TAHLEQUAH — Cherokee County sheriff’s deputies arrested a Tahlequah man Tuesday after responding to a fight.

Michael James Desantis, 32, was booked for public intoxication and resisting arrest. Deputies said Desantis was inside a vehicle when they arrived at the scene, and ran away. He was captured after deputies chased him, and began fighting with them before he could be placed into a patrol vehicle.

In other matters, Randy Jones of Grand View Nursery filed a report after the business was broken into between Dec. 28 and Dec. 31. Jones said a Dell computer was taken, along with cash. A file cabinet was also damaged, and Jones said it appears someone entered through the back door. Investigators were able to collect finger prints at the scene.

What do you think of Sen. McCain's proposal to allow cable TV channels to be sold a la carte (individually, rather than in bundles with a lot of channels no one wants)? Bear in mind some less popular channels could go by the wayside with no bundling support, and that while overall packages should theoretically decrease in cost, individual channels might cost more.

Strongly in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat in favor of a la carte.
Somewhat opposed to a la carte.
