The man charged with leaving his young son to die in a pickup on an August day in 2018 will be sentenced for his crime on Tuesday after waiving his right to a jury trial.

Adam Kolar is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 3-year-old son, Ryker.

Assistant District Attorney Eric Epplin said Kolar will enter a plea and be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday in Canadian County District Court.

A jury trial for Kolar had been scheduled in Canadian County District Court, but it was postponed.

How about a giant round of applause for every city of El Reno employee and those who coordinated the cleanup after the late October ice storm.

By far, El Reno is ahead of other cities in this area, including Oklahoma City, Yukon and Mustang when it comes to cleanup. Oklahoma City is just now starting cleanup and Yukon residents have been told the cleanup there could extend into next spring.

El Reno is projected to be limb-free by Nov. 22. That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because of leadership, management and perseverance.
