Here are the top stories in Tulsa today:

1. This holiday season, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa has donated more than 3,000 toys to local toy drives. The resort held a toy drive in early December and collected most of the donations within just a few hours. The toys were then given to Zayden's Toy Drive, specifically to the local Saint Francis Children's Hospital Toy Closet, and the Marine Corps Toys for Tots of Broken Arrow. (KTUL)
2. Tulsa police arrested a man accused of leading officers on a chase in a stolen car late Thursday night. Beophus McCall was charged with resisting arrest, possession of a stolen vehicle, and leaving the scene of a crash. The stolen vehicle was spotted during routine patrols near 47th and Braden; an officer followed the car into an apartment complex and tried to stop McCall, but the suspect kept driving. During the chase, the car lost control going down a hill and crashed into a fence. (News On 6)
