BARTLESVILLE, Okla. - Two boys were arrested in Bartlesville Friday as primary suspects in an attempted bank robbery.
Bartlesville police say two teenage boys rode up to a Bank of the West on bicycles around 5 p.m. Friday. The boys entered the bank and "demanded a large amount of money."
The bank manager refused, according to police. The boys said they had a gun, but no weapon was ever produced. Authorities say the boys then left after the manager told them to leave.
In review of surveillance footage, an officer recognized the boys from a traffic accident earlier in the day, police say.
The boys, 16 and 17, were arrested around 5:30 p.m. and ordered to the Washington County Detention Center.

Sean Janas, Wisconsin resident, systematically tortured boyfriend's dog to death, charges say

She now faces felony animal cruelty charges that could land her in prison for five years, but many animal rights advocates think that isn't enough.
Janas made a court appearance yesterday and indicated she won't be challenging any of the charges. According to Wisconsin's CBS 6, Janas allegedly poured Drano and bleach down the throat of Mary, a 4-year-old Labrador/shepherd mix (pictured above) that finally died in June after months of torture. Janas also allegedly stabbed the dog with a knife.
The Associated Press, citing a criminal complaint, reports that "Janas kept a diary with entries describing her intense hatred for Mary... the diary also detailed the abuse Janas inflicted on the dog."
Wednesday's hearing brought out about 100 animal rights advocates who demonstrated outside the courtroom as part of a "March for Mary."
From the Wausau Daily Herald:
A line of protesters circled the courthouse before and after the court hearing in support of Mary, and drivers blew horns as cars passed the demonstrators. Some who marched carried signs, and many took their dogs to the demonstration. Kelli Obremski, 42, of Mosinee took her dog, a 1-year-old boxer named Parker. And Obremski's two sons, Ben, 13, and Tanner, 15, took the morning off school to participate.Almost 50,000 people, inspired by Mary, have signed an online petition asking for tougher animal cruelty penalties, according to the Pierce County Herald.
"We don't have tough enough laws that protect animals, and I believe vets should have to report any suspected abuse, just like they would in a child," Obremski said. "If (Janas) killed man's best friend, she should get the maximum penalty possible. If the abuse had been reported, I have to wonder if that dog could have been saved."

TULSA - Tulsa police say a man being booked into the county jail had a woman's ear in his pocket.
Officers were notified early Friday morning of a woman injured and fleeing Braden Creek Apartments near 49th and Yale.
The woman told police she was assaulted and held against her will by her child's father, Joseph Hall Jr., at his apartment.
According to the arrest report, the woman had visible injuries to her face, head, torso, arms and legs. She had bite marks on her body and a portion of her right ear had been torn or cut off.
The woman also had broken ribs and a collapsed lung. She was transported and treated at a local hospital.
Hall was located in front of his apartment where he was taken into custody. He later gave police a statement, in which they say he lied about the whereabouts of his child.
While being booked into the Tulsa County Jail, police found blood stains and clumps of hair matching the victim's.
Among the evidence collected was the remaining portion of the woman's ear, which officers found in Hall's pocket, according to the report.
Hall was booked for domestic assault and battery, kidnapping, maiming and interfering with a police officer.
