Oklahoma firefighter arrested in North Texas for online solicitation of a minor
COLLIN COUNTY, Texas – A man who is a firefighter and paramedic in Oklahoma was arrested in Collin County on Friday, charged with online solicitation of a minor.
David Villines, 40, from Dennison, Texas, is accused of trying to meet with an individual he believed to be a 15-year-old girl. The teen was, in fact, an undercover investigator posing as a minor.
During the online chat, Villines is accused of wanting to engage in sexual activity. He agreed to meet with who he thought was the teen girl, and was taken into custody.
The Collin County Sheriff’s Office Child Exploitation Unit and detectives with the Dallas Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children conducted the operation.
Villines is being held at the Collin County Jail and is being held on a $100,000 bond.

Sooners in the NFL: Oklahoma’s Quarterbacks On Fire Again in Week 8
Oklahoma has suffered through a season of subpar quarterback play and questionable offensive schemes all year long. Tuning into the Sooners’ NFL quarterbacks on Sunday’s has to be breath of fresh air.
It was another tremendous week in the NFL for Oklahoma’s three-headed monster in Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Jalen Hurts. Murray and Hurts led their teams to victory, while Mayfield fell short with an injured supporting cast.
Hurts claimed possession of the most dominant performance of the weekend, leading the Eagles to a commanding 37-17 win in Cincinnati. The Bengals had won three of their last four games, but couldn’t find a solution to slow down Hurts and Philadelphia’s offensive attack.
The former Oklahoma quarterback completed 16-of-20 passes for 236 yards and one touchdown through the air, marking his most efficient passing performance of the season. As always, his legs added a different element to the Eagles’ offense as Hurts rushed 10 times for 37 yards and three touchdowns. He had a turnover free day and an efficiency rating of 132.5.
Murray’s performance was similar to Hurts in the fact that he took over the game and put the team on his back. He completed 26-of-36 passing attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns with zero turnovers. Murray was quiet on the ground today with just 19 rushing yards, but he trusted his arm all day long.
The 307-yard passing performance was the most passing yards Murray has generated since October 30, 2022. He now has 11 passing touchdowns and three interceptions on the season, and Arizona is an underrated team at 4-4 overall.
Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Bucs fell just short, failing to complete the Oklahoma quarterback trifecta of victories. Tampa’s costly penalties played a part in the game late, but he did everything he could to help the Buccaneers stay alive.
On the afternoon, Mayfield was 37-of-50 through the air with 330 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions, and his Hail Mary on the final play was caught by a Bucs wideout out of bounds. He added three rushes for 11 yards. Both of Mayfield’s interceptions came on deep shots downfield where he was trying to move the ball for Tampa Bay. In a 31-26 loss, though, turnovers are crucial, and Mayfield couldn’t take care of the ball.
Tampa’s 26 points, 330 passing yards and three touchdowns is even more impressive considering the context. Mayfield was without both of his top targets, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and had to make do with a supporting cast of backup wide receivers. At 4-4 with two straight losses, the Bucs have to figure things out in a hurry, and it doesn’t get much easier. Mayfield will face the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers in back-to-back weeks coming up.
All three of Oklahoma’s quarterbacks put on a show during Sunday’s early slate. Murray and Hurts simply dominated, while Mayfield tried to will his team back into the game. One thing is for certain: Oklahoma is QBU eight weeks into the NFL season.

Tre Harris injury update: Ole Miss WR’s status vs. Oklahoma
Ole Miss wide receiver Tre Harris will not play in Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Harris suffered an injury during the Rebels’ loss against LSU two weeks ago and had been listed as questionable by the team on the availability report leading into this weekend.
Harris leads Ole Miss in receiving production this season, catching 6 of the team’s 15 touchdowns through the air off 59 receptions for 987 yards, averaging 16.7 yards per catch.
He caught 7 passes for 102 yards and scored once against LSU, but emerged on the Rebels’ sideline wearing street clothes after sustaining the injury in that game.
Harris exited the game after running a pattern and signaling to the sideline that he needed help, and retreated to the injury tent during the team’s final offensive possessions in regulation.
Antwane Wells is the second-most prolific scorer on the team with 4 touchdown catches off 17 receptions for 371 yards, and Cayden Lee has 429 yards and 1 touchdown grab.
Wide receiver Jordan Watkins has 2 touchdown catches this season and tight ends Caden Prieskorn and Dae’Quan Wright have each scored once.
Ole Miss is No. 3 nationally with 360.1 passing yards per game and is 9th in FBS with 41.4 points per game on average.
